Affenberg Landskron, Monkey sanctuary in Villach, Austria.
The zoo encompasses 4 hectares of woodland where 180 Japanese macaques move freely through natural surroundings with ponds and climbing structures.
The facility opened in 1996, and during that same year, all 39 initial monkeys escaped the enclosure, requiring six weeks to recapture them.
Universities from Vienna, Graz, and Kyoto conduct behavioral research on the Japanese macaques, contributing to scientific understanding of primate behavior.
The facility operates daily guided tours lasting 45 minutes, with entry fees of 17 euros for adults and 9 euros for children aged 4 to 14.
During summer months, visitors can observe Japanese macaques demonstrating their swimming and diving abilities in the enclosure's two ponds.
