From 19 December 2023 to 24 February 2024, Halle's mountain zoo will be illuminated for three months for the "Magical Worlds of Light". This winter, the Bergzoo will tell the stories of "One Thousand and One Nights" with more than 300 light installations, some of them interactive, on the five-hectare zoo grounds around the Reilsberg.
A 13 metre high oriental palace is already an eye-catcher at the zoo entrance and invites guests into the world of "1001 Nights" with Sinbad the Sailor, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin and the genie from the bottle and many mythical stories. The ornate light installations made of silk and metal are handcrafted over many months according to the centuries-old tradition of Chinese lantern art.
On the five-hectare zoo grounds, 300 fabulous light figures with 15,000 lamps are displayed along the two-kilometre circular path. The Magical Worlds of Light have been on show at Halle's mountain zoo for the fifth time since 2018. The Halle Mountain Zoo has welcomed half a million guests to the Magical Worlds of Light so far.
The park-like grounds of Halle Zoo around the Reilsberg, the atmospheric music and sound effects as well as the ever-changing view of the installations create a special experience.
