Timeline
15:01
Arrive at Wildpark Schwarze Berge before the sun dips below the horizon. The large enclosures and natural landscape provide ample space to walk and settle in before the light changes.
16:31
Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets toward the SW at 16:31. The golden light begins around 15:29, but the final moments of daylight at sunset offer a crisp, cooling atmosphere in the park.
17:31
Leave the park as it gets dark. Since there are no food or drink options listed within the immediate context of the zoo, check the route from Neuwiedenthal S-bahn station to find a nearby spot for dinner and a drink after dark.
Local tip
The zoo is a favourite for families, so arriving early ensures a quieter experience before the evening crowds disperse.
Check before you go
- Transport: Take bus 340 from Neuwiedenthal S-bahn station to reach the zoo.
