Leśny Zwierzyniec

Leśny Zwierzyniec is a zoo in Liszna housing more than 30 animal species including deer, wild boars, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and mouflon sheep in naturalistic enclosures. The facility also includes aviaries with various bird species and is designed so animals live in settings that resemble their natural habitats.

The sanctuary began when a forest ranger and his wife rescued an orphaned deer and decided to care for injured animals. This rescue mission gradually grew into a refuge for forest creatures.

The place teaches visitors about wildlife living in the Bieszczady region and how these animals fit into their natural habitats. Through direct observation, people develop a deeper connection to forest ecosystems and local nature.

The site is reachable near a train station and operates during warmer months only. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the grounds consist of natural paths and open animal areas.

Visitors can feed the animals with special food sold on site, allowing close encounters with the tame residents. This hands-on interaction is a highlight of the visit since the animals are accustomed to human contact.
