Avenberg Landskron Zoo takes you on an educational nature journey through the forests of Villach and its urban protected areas, across an area of up to 4 hectares. The park includes a large group of Japanese macaques, in addition to a number of distinctive bird species. During the winter, students are invited to join lectures and collect data for their thesis, and are trained in field work and in a nearby laboratory to promote better understanding in the field of behavioral genetics.
