Overview

Steinwasen Park is a mountain-based adventure park and wildlife sanctuary located in the Black Forest, Germany. The site features the world's longest adventure pedestrian suspension bridge, measuring 218 meters in length. Visitors can access a variety of alpine-style rides, including the Steinwasen Coaster, a summer toboggan run integrated into the mountainous terrain. The zoo component houses indigenous species such as red deer, chamois, ibex, and marmots in large, naturalistic enclosures. Indoor attractions include the 'Steinwasen-Welt' adventure hall designed for inclement weather. The park's layout utilizes the steep valley geography to connect disparate areas via chairlift and walking paths. It serves as a combination of a traditional theme park and an outdoor wildlife park focusing on local alpine fauna. The site remains fully operational for the 2026 season.

Insider tips

Wear sturdy, comfortable footwear as the park involves significant walking on hilly, unpaved terrain.

Visit the suspension bridge early in the day to avoid peak congestion and get clearer views of the valley.

Check the weather forecast, as outdoor rides may experience temporary operational pauses during heavy rain or strong wind.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk between the upper and lower park sections without checking the status of the chairlift; the incline is steep and physically demanding.

Good to know

The park operates on a seasonal basis, generally closing throughout the winter months and reopening in spring; check local notices for specific end-of-season dates in November.

Etiquette

Respect wildlife by remaining on designated paths and maintaining silence near animal enclosures; do not feed the animals.
