I could probably write a few pages about this place but will try and keep it down for qype…read more After seeing my old favourites, the Meerkats, near the entrance, I was sure they would be my highlight as usual. The zoo went about proving me wrong. This zoo does a couple of walk through enclosures. The kangaroos...well, they just squat there as far away from you as they can get. But the monkeys. They see you but mostly they just get on with their business of running around and fighting even right next to you. I guess the older monkeys are used to people, but the younger ones are still curious and will climb up next to you (but will flinch/fall over/run away if you move so much as a muscle) I couldn't believe how close they came, it was unbelievable and I could not get a photo because they were so nervous. What else was great? Well I was enjoying looking at the Rosenkopchen until I saw all the wasps sharing their fruit. I also enjoyed the unexpected fish tank in the giraffe house (random). There was a baby goat feeding area too like at Berlin Zoo. The animals don't half hassle you though..means you can't feed the cute little one. All this for 7E entry? OK it is a bit of a trek to get out here...but well worth it. With my 5 star review I am in no way endorsing this (http://www.toytowngermany.com/lofi/index.php/t72111.html)

Well, how did I get here? I have known Bad Langensalza from my teenage years and from GDR times. I…read morevisited it because of a birthday party last June. Now, Bad Langensalza has been called the city of roses - since 2002. It is a place important for rehabilitation and wellness. The Japanese Garden is one of many gardens in the town of Bad Langensalza, Thuringia. I would have liked to see the garden of roses, too but I ran out of time. The Japanese Garden comprises 7000 square metres. I was very impressed by it all! It is looked after very, very well. I enjoyed the waterlilies - and the fish in the pond. There is the garden of the awakening and the garden of the reason. The gardens of the awakening consist of different themes. Hanami, the cherry blossom is being celebrated here every year. If you book you can take part in a Japanese tea ceremony. Very charming! Unfortunately I was too late for the tea rooms - but no doubt I will come back here!
