Just about 30 minutes by car from Brettmühlenteich Campsite, one of Saxony's most popular family destinations awaits: Dresden Zoo. Nestled in the historic Great Garden of the city, the zoo offers an unforgettable experience for young and old – with over 1,500 animals from around the world, modern enclosures and an educationally valuable concept.
Discover, Marvel and Learn: Dresden Zoo delights with a successful mix of animal experience and knowledge transfer.
