Bosque Alemão, Protected forest area in Curitiba, Brazil.

Bosque Alemão is a 38,000 m² park in the Vista Alegre neighbourhood of Curitiba, created on the former Schaffer family estate and opened in 1996. Dense native Atlantic Forest covers the grounds, which are bounded by the streets Franz Schubert, Niccolò Paganini and Francisco Schaffer. Its entrance portal reproduces the facade of the Casa Mila, an early 20th-century German building from the city centre, and the original iron grille of that house is set into the portal's upper central opening.

The forest was established in 1996 to honor German immigrants who arrived in Curitiba starting in the early 1800s. Its creation marked a recognition of this community's cultural influence on the city's development.

The forest reflects the heritage of German immigrants who settled in Curitiba, incorporating storytelling elements rooted in European folklore. Visitors experience this cultural connection through narrative sessions and themed pathways that bring traditional tales to life.

The forest is open daily from 6:00 to 20:00, with entrances on Rua Franz Schubert, Rua Niccolò Paganini and Rua Francisco Schaffer. The children's library in Casa Encantada operates from 9:00 to 17:00, and storytelling takes place on Saturdays and Sundays from 14:00. Paths run through dense native forest, so wear appropriate footwear.

The park's entrance portal reproduces the facade of Casa Mila, an early 20th-century German building from downtown Curitiba; the grille in the central upper opening of the portal comes from the original construction. The 38,000 m² site was once the Schaffer family's country estate.
