      Around 250 hectares are home to 16 large enclosures and aviaries for around 40 different species of birds and mammals from the local animal world. In the spacious landscaped enclosures, the animal residents can develop in their own way - running, climbing, bathing, sleeping and even retreating.

                  The forest is varied. A lot of old trees. Designed by nature. You have to consider the animal husbandry in the enclosures.

                        This is the "main entrance" to the outdoor animal enclosure.
                        Well-maintained paths, good signage, and maps are provided throughout – so you can easily find your desired destination or simply walk the circular route through the outdoor enclosure.

                          If you're in the area, you should take a detour to this fantastic facility! It's absolutely worth it, and compared to other zoos, the enclosures are incredibly spacious.
