Flamingo Lagoon

Highlight • Structure

Visitors enter the lagoon through a gate and a lock, where they cross a winding wooden bridge before standing in the middle of a huge aviary without really noticing. That is what makes the lagoon so charming.

Aviary at Cottbus Zoo

Highlight • Structure

The flamingo lagoon and the walk-in facility on Oberteich are among the highlights. Beware of the cheeky geese ;-) If they do not get any food, they already pluck at their pants ...
