Guided Story
Can you hear the rustling in the trees above? That might be one of the many bird species calling this place home. Did you know that this zoo was originally laid out in the park of a 19th-century mausoleum? It gives the area a unique charm, like walking through a piece of history. If you look to your left, you might catch a glimpse of the old mausoleum’s roof peeking through the trees. And just behind you, a short walk away, you’ll find the impressive Schloss Georgium, which could be your next stop after exploring here. The park is a delight in any season, but especially in spring when everything begins to bloom; it’s like a living painting. Take a moment, breathe in deeply, and enjoy the tranquility that envelops this place.
