Zoo Hluboká, Animal park in Hluboká nad Vltavou, Czech Republic

Zoo Hluboká, opened in 1939, covers 6 hectares near the Ohrada hunting lodge, of which 4.5 hectares are open to visitors. Its enclosures are grouped by habitat, from the walk-through Český les aviary to the Nová setkání complex of 2013 for Palearctic fauna. The entrance gate is flanked by white pillars topped with red spheres.

Adolf Schwarzenberg founded this zoological garden in 1939 near the Ohrada hunting lodge. After World War II, the state took over management and developed it into its present form.

The zoo's symbol is the Eurasian otter, and its name changed in November 2015 from Zoo Ohrada to South Bohemian Zoological Gardens Hluboká. The site also runs a rescue station for handicapped animals near Temelín and a CITES rescue centre. Visitors can attend commented feedings of otters, bears and wolverines in summer.

The grounds are walkable with paths that accommodate different paces, with shaded spots by trees along the way. Comfortable shoes are advisable since the terrain is somewhat hilly and a full tour takes considerable time.

The zoo keeps a rescue station for handicapped animals near Temelín and a CITES rescue centre for confiscated wildlife. It also coordinates breeding of the Ural owl for reintroduction to Šumava, where over 100 released birds fledged, about half from Hluboká.
