Safaripark Gänserndorf, Safari park in Gänserndorf, Austria
The park covered a vast area of 15 hectares with woodland and meadows where visitors could observe various wild animals roaming freely.
Established in 1972 as Europe's largest safari park, the facility housed 300 different animals including 33 lions during its initial opening phase.
The park represented a significant shift in animal exhibition methods, allowing visitors to drive through habitats in their own vehicles or guided buses.
The facility maintained 850 animals with a staff of 64 caretakers until its closure in 2004 due to financial difficulties and bankruptcy.
The park featured a narrow-gauge railway built in 1984 for two million Austrian schillings, operated and maintained by railway enthusiast associations.
