Small but nice ZOO in Saxony
At the eastern end of the historic center of Hoyerswerda, right next to the local castle, you will find a small but very nice zoo. There is a nice tropical pavilion, ibex, teddy bear, camels and lots of other animals. The center of the zoo is a nice playground.
Tropical hall
Probably the biggest pride of the zoo in Hoyerswerda is its Tropical Hall. Crocodiles, pygmy hippos and a whole range of reptiles and fish live here.
Turtles
Right next to the tropical pavilion is the turtle enclosure

A large paddock of camels follows
Pelicans at the castle
A very nice part of the ZOO is the moat around the castle, where you can find waterfowl with a whole range of pelicans
