At 11:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. each day, the “ Tierwelt Herberstein ” transforms into a runway—a playground of cultures. Traditional fashion shows featuring Styrian folk costumes and traditional African attire alternate with musical and dance performances. In addition, African and Styrian wines as well as culinary specialties are on offer.

Managing Director Doris Wolkner-Steinberger explains: “The entire season is already themed‘The Jewels of Africa.’ Many workshops and an Africa Festival have so far brought African culture closer to the public. Now, Styrian culture is being juxtaposed with it.”

Culture in the animal world?
At the Tierwelt Herberstein , the animals are naturally the main attraction. They are what visitors come to see. In addition to the animals, however, the park also offers small glimpses into the different continents, cultures, histories, and traditions. This allows visitors to experience more, immersing themselves in both unfamiliar and familiar worlds—the animals’ natural habitats. This marks another milestone under the Tierwelt Herberstein ’s motto: “Discover the world—you’re a part of it.”
