Tierpark Finsterwalde: Big anniversary festival for the 55th birthday!

Finsterwalde, Deutschland - On the first weekend in August, the time has finally come: the Tierpark "> Finsterwalde celebrates its 55th anniversary with a colorful festival weekend.

A look over the borders of Finsterwalde shows that celebrating anniversaries in German zoo is currently very popular.

This zoo, which opened in 1964 as a home animal park with a manageable animal population, has developed into an important institution in the region. The current animal population comprises around 1,500 individuals in 226 species and places a special focus on species protection. The Chemnitz zoo shows how important such institutions are for the preservation of biodiversity.
