Open to unrestricted use until May 2025. It's very special for e-bikes. Ladies should bring a sturdy rack. It's a tight squeeze for wide handlebars. Access is more like a disastrous farm track than a "bike path." Have fun on your tours!

The money is worth it for what you get. Lots of interesting animals and a small petting zoo. Lots of restaurants and lots of playgrounds. https://youtube.com/shorts/2EHAP0wnEPA?si=uPtoNiu7Wr9jYNCo

Crossing the railway bridge with the e-bike is a great experience!

For all the conflicting feelings that a zoo evokes, the polar bears and the great apes are well presented and very impressive. The price is quite reasonable, 21,- plus 3,- parking with no time limit, aimed at families. Gastronomy catastrophic.

Delicious cakes at Bäcker Schröder (Markt 31), or stop off at the “Historisches Landküchencafé” (Markt 23).
