Aquariums and zoological gardens
Zoo Halle (Mountain Zoo)
THE ZOO GARDEN HALLE – THE MOUNTAIN CALLS! In the midst of Halle’s beautiful countryside, flanked by old castles and the Saale River, the Zoo Garden Halle sits majestically upon a mountain overlooking the valley below. More than 1,700 animals in 250 species call him home. The twenty-two acre Zoo’s emphasis is on species and animals which are native to mountain regions all over the world. Visitors can also enjoy seeing endangered exotic animals such as elephants, sloths, anteaters, and squirrel monkeys. The architecture of the Zoo’s animal enclosures is visually-pleasing, giving his visitors the opportunity to easily get up close with lions, tigers and others behind panoramic windows. His natural geography makes him not only to Germanys only Mountain-Zoo but creates perfect vantage points high above many of his animal enclosures.
