Advent in the wildlife park

The Advent market in the Cumberland Wildpark with enchanting Christmas atmosphere.

At the end of the event season, we are once again looking forward to welcoming a large number of visitors to Grünau Wildlife Park.

Once again, the first weekend of Advent is all about the pre-Christmas season with the ‘Bratwurst Sunday’ in our natural landscape. Two days of Advent spirit!

This year, the gates will open on Saturday, 29th November at 10:00 a.m., with the opportunity to shop until 7:00 p.m.
On Sunday, 30th November, visitors are welcome between 10:00 and 17:00.

Good opportunity for regional Christmas presents

Many selected exhibitors will once again be presenting their work and artwork. These range from handmade woodturning and bags to schnapps, biscuits, clay and felt work and much more. As last year, a blacksmith will be forging live at his forge during the market and will also be offering his works of art for sale. Christmas atmosphere and scents, Christmas atmosphere and scents are provided by live music, chestnut roasters and punch and mulled cider stands. In keeping with ‘Bratwurst Sunday’, special attention is paid to these delicacies. On this weekend, don't miss out on a stroll through the wildlife park, which may already be looking wintry. On both evenings, open fires, lanterns and torches bring a very special atmosphere to the Wildpark.
