What Our Guests Say

Monika W
Another great event—just like last year. Amazing lighting effects, well-organized, and absolutely worth it.
Now
A truly wonderful place! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful—you feel right at home. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the quality of the products is top-notch. Thank you so much for the great service—I’d love to come back!
Günter Schnepp
It's beautifully designed; I'd go back there in 2025.
Sven Maturek
The weather was perfect—it was cold, there was snow on the ground, and it was already dark. The lighting really stood out. It was worth the 20 euros!
Dani's Crazy Animal World
A great experience, wonderful lighting effects, in a superb setting
Attele 59
2024 was even better than last year. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Personal recommendation: with a Flexi Ticket—which is a bit more expensive—you’ll be all set. Parking isn’t a big problem after 5 p.m. Otherwise, just take public transportation.
Sabine Wilsdorf
An absolutely amazing place. So well designed. It really gets you in the Christmas spirit. Four mulled wine stands along the loop trail. Lots of photo spots.
