The park is very beautiful, immersed in the nature. The animals have huge spaces, although some of them are very difficult to be seen (especially the Puma). Probably the best attraction are the monkeys and the buffalos. It's worth to pay the (quite expensive) ticket for a visit and I suggest to schedule a whole day. There are several restaurants, coffe shops and bathrooms, especially in the area closer to the Castle. So far so good. Anyway I was quite disappointed for some reasons that I am going to tell you now. First of all, this zoo is indicated already at the highway Exit, but inexplicably, the last two bifurcations are not indicated! So we just drove straight until realizing that we were already outside of the espected area...would it be so difficult to put two more indications after 15 already well placed ones ??? This of course made us nervous even before entry the park....
Second point: indications inside the park are a bit confusing in some bifurcations, especially in the area of the Restaurants where you still have to cross the "Asia" area but the indications only say "Africa -->". When we arrived there, we thought that we were going the bad direction and turned back, until realizing that we just climbed a lot of stairs again and for nothing because the direction "Africa" was the right one to go to the "Asia" area !!!!!!!!!!
The third point are the stairs: in the area of the restaurants there are huge stairs with something like 100 steps, with very unconfortable tracks for strollers (and remember that we did them three times, see previous issues :-((( . For the benefit of people with kids, there should be lift or treadmills similar to those of the supermarkets. Another negative point is the absence of rest areas for self-consumed meals. There is plenty of expensive restaurant but no one table to sit and eat your sandwiches. We did it on a bench, and being 3 adults one teenager and one child it was not easy...
The last Point are the Prices: one coffe Espresso 3,20 euros is really EXAGGERATED !!!!
So, honestly I have to say that if you are a couple or a group of friends with at least one person who already was there, then it is really extraordinary beautiful....but a zoo is made for children, isn't it? And in this case, if you go there for the first time with your family, let's be prepared to several troubles.

Mysteriously hidden in the wild and romantic landscape of the Feistritzklamm is located one of Austria’s most famous castles: Castle Herberstein

We went early in the morning which was great for seeing the small zoo and the Gardens, but didn't work out for the castle tour. The first tour was at noon the day we went, and we had seen all we wanted to see by 10:30. We could have spent the hour and a half looking at more of the Gardens, or eating something in the restaurant, but restaurant was a bit pricey and it was a hot day. We saw as much of the castle as we could with the tour (mostly just the outside) and then headed back to our hotel. The price of the zoo, Gardens and castle tour, at the time we visited, were all included in one price. You could not pay for just one, or parts of the castle visit.
Great place to take children! And don't miss the modern art exhibit in the museum near the Gardens. Quite impressive.

This campsite makes it's money purely off of the back of the beautiful lake and couple of nice Hotels in the vicinity. You pay for a shower, and the wifi, which you can only use whilst in the bar or restaurant, and the food is little more than average.
There is an English translated site which states that there are English speaking staff, NO THERE AREN'T! Also, the woman who runs it, Steinman, is a bit of a bulldog and hasn't smiled for years, but that maybe because she doesn't like the English ! You really can find much nicer and friendlier sites in the same area.

Ein kleines Städtchen Pöllau mit einem beeindruckenden Ensemble: Kirche, Stift (Schule) und über der Strasse ein wunderbarer Park mit einer sehenswerten Allee.
Die Kirche ist ein mächtiger Kuppelbau, das Stift gewachsen seit dem 16. Jahrhundert, der Park ist sehr schön angelegt.
Einen Abstecher wert

An sich brauche ich das ja nicht: 6 Pax in einem Korb mit dünnem Boden, aufgehängt an etwas dickerer Fallschirmseide, 5 Gasflaschen und offenes Feuer ... aber es ist dann doch ein herrliches Gefühl, über die Landschaft zu "fahren" - und die extrem professionelle, super-freundliche Betreuung tut ihr Übriges dazu, den Tag unvergessen zu machen!
