Steinwasen Park
About
Steinwasen Park is a nature‑oriented theme park and animal sanctuary set in the Black Forest, located on the mountain pass between Kirchzarten and Todtnau. Covering 35 hectares of pine‑clad terrain, the park blends thrilling rides, a world‑class suspension bridge, and a diverse collection of forest wildlife—including red deer, lynx, marmot, and ibex—into a single family‑friendly destination. The park’s attractions range from the iconic 218‑meter glass‑suspended walkway to the adrenaline‑driven Glacier Lightning coaster, the educational Black Forest diorama, and a vibrant cine‑theatre featuring locally produced films about the region’s natural history. While the park celebrated a successful 2025 season, it is currently closed for winter and scheduled to reopen in spring 2026. Visitors who plan a visit before the break will find a blend of adventure, wildlife encounters, and scenic alpine vistas that is especially appealing to families and nature lovers alike. The park’s layout encourages exploration on foot or via its cable car, and its on‑site eateries and playgrounds cater to children and adults. Anticipated reopening in spring brings a fresh lineup of seasonal events and updated attractions. The park’s strategic location and comprehensive attractions make it a distinctive stop for travelers exploring the Black Forest as part of a broader regional journey.
