The Green Zoo Wuppertal

The zoo is located in a park with partly very old trees.
The park is located Wuppertal typically hillside.
There are so many vertical meters together.
Since one tries to keep species-appropriate the animals have retreat areas so that some animals are not necessarily to be seen.
For the little ones there is one or the other playground.

Not far from the Ruhr area, the Wuppertal Green Zoo awaits visitors of all ages. Much has been redesigned here in recent years.
The zoo is not only impressive due to its almost 3500 animals from all over the world, but also due to its diverse family-friendly offers. There are special discounts for families and very special offers for children and seniors.
One of the region's largest zoos is picturesquely located on the slopes of the Wuppertal.
The Wuppertal Zoo is not only a magnet for visitors in the Bergisches Land, many guests also come to the traditional zoo from the Ruhr area.
Garden is also the apt description for the 24 hectare park, whose sometimes quite steep paths lead through lots of greenery to the individual enclosures.ruhr-guide.de/freizeit/zoos-und-tiergaerten/der-gruene-zoo-wuppertal/13739,0,0.html

If you are lucky you can reach the lions in the lion enclosure of the Wuppertal Zoo on this section up to 20m. The lion pictured here was not impressed by me and enjoyed the spring sun almost motionless. Nevertheless, I was happy about the 3m high double fence that separated us.

If you follow the route, you will see llamas and pampas on the left and tigers on the right.
