Nuremberg Zoo/Tiergarten Nürnberg
am 24.03.2008 von Transblawg
Its just been announced that the polar bear cub Flocke will be on public view from April 9. Here is a guide for visitors - after all, the school Easter holidays end next Friday, so from March 31 there will be a few days to visit the Zoo while its still civilized.
I cant get the hang of Google Maps, but if you scroll to the right here you will eventually see the zoo, marked with a blue line.

It is embedded in deep forest, on a hilly and wooded site, and you can see the sandstone where the stone for Nuremberg Castle was quarried. So its quite a large and civilized zoo for the visitor - less so for some of the animals. A bit like a mixture between a more generously planned zoo and a crowded inner-city zoo. It would still be in Dutzendteich if Hitler hadnt wanted that area for a parade ground. And look what happened to that.
