Description
Tiergarten Eisenberg is a zoo spread across about 2.5 hectares and home to around 720 animals from approximately 44 species, ranging from native forest dwellers to exotic creatures. The facility features various enclosures where visitors can observe the animals from close range.
History
The zoo was established as part of an initiative to support rural development in the Thuringia region following German reunification. This founding shaped the local community and created new opportunities for the area.
