    Hiking

    The Flamingo Island (or Flamingo Lagoon) in Leipzig Zoo is a naturally designed water area for lesser flamingos. It offers muddy areas for the construction of nesting mounds, which help the animals with breeding in April/May. This facility allows visitors to observe the birds during feeding (filtering) and grooming. The terrain is regularly worked on to optimize mud cones for the lesser flamingos' breeding mood. In addition to lesser flamingos, other flamingo species are often kept there as well.

    As if you were no longer in Germany, but in the middle of an oasis in a foreign country.
