The location with a playground in the immediate vicinity is very good for families. However, the coffee at the kiosk is an imposition. Better order a cold drink there. But I can't judge what it looks like in the restaurant, the coffee might be better there.

We are now in Christianental for the second time and rented the entire guesthouse with 15 people for 4 days and were very satisfied. Absolutely nice staff, very clean and comfortable accommodation and the atmosphere in the middle of the wildlife park was also great, ideal for children. The breakfast was fresh, tasty and plentiful. We felt comfortable and will definitely come back :-)

For our family reunion with 14 people / 4 apartments, we had the luxury of staying alone in the clean and well-kept guesthouse in the owner-managed Waldgasthaus Christianental. Idyllically located in the middle of the wildlife park, quiet nights & within walking distance of Wernigerode Castle. We found Daniel Ujvari to be a very approachable and great host who, with his motivated and good-humoured team, made us feel at home! Food was great & of very good quality. Recommendation 100% - we would love to come back!

Excellent cuisine and super nice and courteous waiters. We had roast venison with red cabbage; The meat is so tender, it falls apart in your mouth. My wife had a salad that was fresh and so big she could barely finish it. We can have some negativesI don't understand the reviews here at all. The restaurant is great!
