Hellabrunn Zoo (or
Tierpark Hellabrunn in German) is a
zoological garden in the
Bavarian capital of
Munich. The zoo is situated on the right bank of the river
Isar, in the southern part of Munich near the quarter of
Thalkirchen. As the
groundwater level here is rather high and the water is of very good quality, the zoo can cover its needs for freshwater by using its own
wells.
