Almtal fairytale summer: eagles, bears and howling wolves

Almtal Fairytale Summer 2025

A fairy tale walk for the whole family with Christa Gabriela Schmollgruber

Music: Franz Bernegger, Bockpfeife & vocals

On our way through the Cumberland Wildlife Park, we not only see bears, wolves, eagles and many other animals, we also encounter them in the fairy tales, freely told at selected places by Christa Gabriela Schmollgruber. At the end, when all the fairy tales have been told and the questions about the fairy tales have been answered, the fairy tale chest opens and reveals its secret!

Please bring weather-appropriate clothing, good shoes, seating and enough to drink.

10:00 to 12:00 at Cumberland Wildlife Park Grünau im Almtal

Tip: Buy tickets online here to avoid waiting times at the ticket office on site!
