King Louis I kept his royal menagerie at this spot near Diósgyőr in the 14th century, which makes the zoo there now the oldest in Hungary.
You could come before striking out for the Bükk Mountains as the zoo holds many of the species that inhabit the range, like brown bears, wildcats, buffalos and a variety of deer and goats.
Some of the exotic animals from Asia, Australia, North America, South America and Africa include kangaroos, kookaburras, racoons, pecaris, macaques, camels, a tiger, patas monkeys and a Persian leopard.
