Tierpark Röhrensee, Park and zoo in Bayreuth, Germany.
Tierpark Röhrensee is a free municipal animal park around a lake of the same name in southern Bayreuth. Paths lead past enclosures for native and farm animals, aviaries, a petting area and large lawns, with old trees shading the water.
The lake received its name in 1891 when wooden tubes for Bayreuth's first water pipes were stored at this location. Since 1973 the facility has been managed by the City Garden Office and became an established part of the local landscape.
The park draws its name from the lake and carries this history in its identity today. Visitors experience a place where animal care and nature coexist, serving as a gathering space for generations of local families.
The grounds lie east of the Röhrensee lake in southern Bayreuth, with paths linking the animal enclosures, the lake shore and the play areas. Entry is free and the site stays open all year. Restaurants, kiosks and boat hire are on site, and the playgrounds are grouped by age.
Visitors can join animal protection projects and adopt trees on the grounds. Special guided visits to the petting enclosure are available by appointment and offer direct contact with selected animals.
