Munich - Hellabrunn Zoo Tierpark Hellabrunn
|
|
Spread over some 36ha/89 acres at Hellabrunn, Munich's zoo is one of the most popular attractions in Bavaria. When it was laid out in 1928 it was the world's first geographically organized zoo. Grouped according to the different parts of the globe from which they come, more than 4,000 of the world's most interesting animals are held in open enclosures reproducing as far as possible conditions in the wild.

Such popular features as the Elephant House (now a listed building), the enormous 5,000sq.m/6,000sq.yd covered free-flight aviary, the polarium and the ape houses, which are among the highlights of the zoo, have been enlarged and improved in the last few years at considerable expense.
Hellabrunn Zoo is situated on a lower terrace of the Isar, now a designated nature conservation area.
