Daňčí obora, Karviná

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 site originated as a hunting ground managed by the Larisch-Mönnich noble family during the 1800s. Over time, the hunting reserve was transformed into a publicly accessible wildlife area for education and recreation.

The name Daňčí obora refers to a deer enclosure in Czech, reflecting what visitors still see today with animals roaming in open grounds. The site functions as a place where people come to observe wildlife up close and learn about the region's natural inhabitants.

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 site merges its original role as a hunting ground with its current function as an educational wildlife space, allowing visitors to see deer and other animals in surroundings that still echo their historical past. This blend of heritage and living nature makes it particularly valuable for families wanting to experience both history and direct animal observation.
