Tierwelt Herberstein / Schloss Herberstein
A large zoo and family castle in the Feistritz Gorge, featuring cheetahs, lions, and gardens, well suited to family outings.
The Herberstein Animal Park lies in the Feistritz Gorge, about 50 km northeast of Graz. Its open enclosures showcase cheetahs, lions, giraffes, greater kudus, and native Alpine animals. The park has a miniature train and a children's playground. Next door, the Herberstein family castle, founded in the Middle Ages, can be toured along with its historic gardens. The park is open seasonally, roughly from March to November. Admission is about 25 euros, and driving is the most convenient way to get there.
