Lovech Zoo

Lovech Zoo, Zoo and urban park in Stratesh, Lovech, Bulgaria.

Lovech Zoo is a zoo and urban park in Stratesh featuring numerous animal species arranged throughout different sections of the grounds. The facility combines animal habitats with wide walking paths and green spaces for strolling.

Lovech Zoo was created in the 1960s and opened on 27 May 1964 in the northeastern part of Stratesh Park. Some of its animals were rescued by organizations after injuries that made return to the wild impossible. On 3 August 2014 a jaguar escaped after a keeper left the doors open and was shot dead the next day.

Some animals at the zoo were rescued by organisations after injuries that made return to the wild impossible. The zoo also keeps species typical of Bulgaria alongside animals from other continents, such as Przewalski's horse and Père David's deer.

The zoo lies in the northeastern part of Stratesh Park, reached on foot or by an asphalt road, with signposts helping visitors find their way. The grounds cover 110 decares of natural forest and maintained lawn with paths and a children's playground. It has a direct pedestrian link to the Alley of Bulgarian-Russian Friendship, the White and Black monuments, the Vasil Levski Monument, the Vasil Levski Museum and the Varosha architectural reserve.
