It is very contagious to follow the story of each family, followed by the expressions in the sculptures. The feeling is transmitted... in short, a remarkable experience. It exceeded our expectations.
I couldn't forget the staff, who were super attentive and polite. It's beautiful to see their affection for what they do.

The park is beautiful, has very well-made sculptures that tell the history of immigration in the place. It is a place that makes you feel peace and provides a very pleasant contact with nature and animals. I share below pictures of the animal trail. I recommend!

The park is very beautiful, it has many informative signs, a lot of knowledge about the process of immigrants coming to the region and very well cared for sculptures and nature. Quiet place, for people who seek contemplation in nature and at the same time admirers of art. Very polite and friendly employees. I highly recommend it.

Place very well cared and tells the history of German emigration in a didactic and differentiated way. Everything very clean, blooming and features all the facilities to delight the customer. The staff that serves is very attentive and offers even repellent and ointment for eventual mosquito bites. Wonderful and worth seeing. We adore

What a wonderful attraction to visit! Carefully and skilfully put together to tell a very interesting story. The organisers have taken the trouble to provide the story in different languages, making it accessible to so many more people. Deserves recognition. Definitely worth a visit

A place that brings peace and renews energies. Next to nature, all impeccable, I have visited 2 times and I love it!
In addition to the color of the flowers, a lot of history and knowledge about the German colonization in Brazil.

Our first visit to the "Park of the Silent Stone Statues" went straight to the heart!Neither my wife nor I have ever seen an art exhibition like the sandstone statues that silently tell the story of the German immigrants who fled war-torn Europe 150 - 200 years ago. The park is simply amazing! As a German-American son of a German immigrant, the story told by the silent statues cause me to get a lump in my throat. Our guide, Diego, got us oriented and started down the trail of Brazilian-German history. He did an excellent job fielding our many questions.
The park recently opened its gates in 2012. The park is the brainchild of a Brazilian-German stalwart in the Nova Petropolis community by the name of Valmor Heckler. Mr. Heckler's ancestors settled in the beautiful countryside just east of the town 5 generations ago. The Heckler Family has been there ever since. I was fortunate enough to chat with Valmor. We chatted in German, and he recounted the story of his family, the trials and tribulations of the German immigrants as well as their successes and triumphs in the New World. Our new friend and guide, Diego, is planning travel to the home of his ancestors to study German. We wish him the best of luck, and know he will succeed in his endeavors.
The park consists of several acres of well-manicured property. Mr. Heckler commissioned a pair of local artists who sculpted the silent story in sandstone giving the stone images a rich, dignified presence throughout the park.
Upon entering the park, Diego had my wife and I pose on the "Mom and Pop" statue with cut-outs for the heads of the park's guests. We then proceeded down the trail to the first group of statues which told the collective story of the German immigrants who left Europe because of the Napoleonic Wars and its aftermath. The statues answer the questions of Who? What? Why? Where? and When? The one image which really got to us was a family splitting up and saying good-bye to each other before the long voyage to South America. It's obvious that the artists crafted their statues with hearts full of empathy and admiration gor the immigrants.
The second grouping of statues represent the various craftsmen and professionals who got the early settlements started, developed them and created the cornerstone of modern business and industry in Riogrande do Sul.
The third collection of statures depict the various leaders of agriculture, education, government, business and science who left an indelible mark on the region. Once leaving the "Hall of Fame"....the trail leads you to an open area of the park. The statues here depict the everyday life of the German immigrants including their mutually beneficial relationship with the indigenous populations, work, recreation, devotion and of course, the Family. As the walking tour comes to an end, an 18-foot high statue of the German Family sends you on your way. On our way out of the park, we stopped in a barn-like structure to view a large collection of antique accordions from abroad and local craftsmen. I left Esculturas Parque Pedras do Silencio even prouder of my German heritage than when I went in.
Please put this park on your bucket list of things to do on your Romantic Route "bucket list." I highly recommend it! Even though we took 4 hours to tour the park, 2-3 hours would do for most people.

Between Nova Petropolis and Gramado a must see. Pristine and very well kept small museum/park that describes the immigration of Germans from Pomograde region of Germany to Brasil in the 1800.
Sculptures show great artistic talent using local stones. Amount of pieces and description are just right.
Staff is excellent and the care for details is wonderful
