A nature-themed park set across green rolling hills and inspired by the German countryside. The park has flower fields, with tulips and nemophila in spring, sunflowers in summer, and cosmos in fall covering the grounds in color. Walking through the spacious site while taking in the peaceful scenery and beautiful flowers is part of its charm.

There are also plenty of opportunities to interact with animals, including feeding goats, sheep, and alpacas. Pony rides are also available, letting visitors enjoy time with animals in a natural setting. Outdoor activities such as grass sledding, go-karts, boats, and archery are also available, and the photogenic “#Big Forest Swing” is another popular attraction.

At the restaurants, you can enjoy German sausages, stone-oven pizza, and dishes made with local ingredients while taking in the hillside views over a relaxed meal. At the sausage workshop and gift shop, you can buy processed foods and original goods, making them great places to stop by for souvenirs. There are also a wide variety of hands-on activities, including bread making, sausage making, and candle making. Some activities require reservations, so check the official website in advance.

Another nice highlight is being able to feel the fresh air of nature while taking photos along the green walking paths and in front of the flower fields. With seasonal flowers, animals, activities, and dining all in one place, this theme park offers something for visitors of all ages.

    There are animals inside that you can see and interact with, like sheep and rabbits, so kids will probably have a great time. But if adults are just coming to stroll around, it might feel a bit touristy and leisurely rather than like an exciting outing.
    The restaurant and souvenir shops go with a German sausage and beer theme. It’s fine if you want to try something different, but don’t expect it to be super authentic.
