Tierpark Zittau — Zoo in Zittau

Tierpark Zittau and its collection

Tierpark Zittau, opened in 1965, is a zoo in Zittau, Germany.

The park traces its origins to an early-century roe deer paddock and a woodland bird aviary, was founded in 1965 and has been fully enclosed since 1968. It stands in the Weinaupark, laid out in the English style from 1876 and largely intact. It also styles itself the zoo of the three-country corner.
