Botany & Zoology
In a city like Munich there has to be a zoo and botanical gardens. Both places have their own history and are very popular amongst Munich locals.
Zoo Hellabrunn
Tierpark Hellabrunn (Zoo)
In the southern part of Munich, in the borough Untergiesing-Harlaching Munich´s zoo is situated in the right bank of the river Isar. Being close to the river many streams actually go through the zoo and there is even a small lake.
Munich´s zoo Hellabrunn is a Geo-zoo, i.e. all animals from one continent live in one community. Therefore the zoo has several pavilions which are called polar world, the big aviary, the section Asia, Australia, Africa and Europe as well as the jungle-, giraffe-, elephant-, tortoise- and the rhino house. There are several aquariums and the monkey world.
