Ringelland, Private zoo in Záboří nad Labem, Czech Republic.
Ringelland is a private zoo housing large predatory cats including Siberian tigers, white tigers, lions, leopards, and mountain lions across its compact grounds. The facility features separate enclosures where each species lives in conditions designed to accommodate their natural behaviors.
Founded in 2008, this facility grew from Ivan Ringel's lifelong experience working with large predatory cats in circus settings. The zoo represents his passion for these animals and their care.
Ringelland displays over 1,000 circus posters, the largest poster wall in the Czech Republic; the oldest dates from 1890. The collection reflects the career of owner Ivan Ringel, a lifelong animal trainer, and the circus background of the hippo Davídek, who lived here until his death.
The zoo is open daily during daytime hours, and visitors should allow several hours to view the different enclosures at a comfortable pace. Weekend presentations during the summer months offer scheduled times to watch the animals during feeding activities.
