Photo and description

Schmiding Zoo was originally the largest bird park in Austria. It opened in 1982 and specialized in exotic bird species. The concept of a modern zoo has changed over the past few years. Various mammals and reptiles were brought here from all over the world.

The zoo is located on an area of 16 hectares of open space and 1600 square meters of enclosed enclosures. A 4 km long pedestrian path was created for visitors, allowing them to make a fascinating journey into the animal world, see with their own eyes the daily life of animals from different geographical regions.

The park has three different zones: tropical forest, African savannah and kingdom birds.

In a tropical forest, the visitor finds himself in a fascinating world. First, the road runs through dense jungle with huge trees, where various species of birds move freely. Monkeys jump on branches directly over the heads of visitors. The path leads past crocodiles and turtles to the lagoon, where guests can see sloths, snakes and lizards.

Giraffes, antelopes, rhinos, zebras and many others live in the African savannah. Visitors can watch and interact with the giraffe up close by climbing on a five-meter platform.

The zoo is proud of its collection of birds. The small valley is surrounded by a net, which creates a natural habitat for the birds. Here you can see griffin, vultures, steppe eagle, red and black kites, condor and other birds of prey.
