Daňčí obora, Karviná, Game reserve and zoo corner in Park Boženy Němcové, Karviná, Czech Republic

Daňčí obora is a game reserve and small zoo corner located within Park Boženy Němcové in Karviná and holds fallow deer, small deer species, goats, rabbits, and various birds in open enclosures. Walking paths and viewing points guide visitors through the grounds to observe the animals in their semi-natural setting.

The present enclosure continues the large game park of the Larisch-Mönnich family, which covered 0.23 km² and hosted aristocratic hunts; the most notable, in 1877, was attended by Crown Prince Rudolf. That park later disappeared. A zoo corner existed from 1953 in what was then Julius Fučík Park, where the Association of Exotic Bird Breeders set up exotic bird aviaries in the 1970s. The zoo corner was later moved, in a different form and range of animals, to its current site in Park Boženy Němcové.

The Czech name Daňčí obora means fallow deer enclosure, and daňci are still among the animals kept here. The site is also called Zookoutek Karviná. It is freely accessible all year and is used for walks and observing the animals in the park.

The reserve is open year-round with free entry for all guests. The marked trails are easy to navigate on foot and the viewing areas are positioned to let visitors watch animals without disturbing them.

The zoo corner did not grow out of the old Larisch-Mönnich hunting preserve on this spot. A zoo corner existed from 1953 in what was then Julius Fučík Park (today Univerzitní park), where the Association of Exotic Bird Breeders set up exotic bird aviaries in the 1970s; only later was it moved here, in a different form and with a different range of animals.
