Along the 4km-long tour of the zoo one encounters animals from all over the world. Giraffes, different kinds of monkeys, tiger, tropical birds, antelopes, crocodiles, giant snakes and some 1,000 other animals live in their spacious enclosures on an area of 13 hectares.

Vultures with a wing spread of up to three meters can be experienced from close-by; there are no fences in the world’s biggest accessible bird-of-prey enclosure in the Schmiding Zoo.

Jungle atmosphere with parrots, marmosets, iguanas, oriental small-clawed otters and crocodiles can be seen at the gigantic tropical house.

A group of four gorillas elates the young and old.
