Freiberg Zoo

Freiberg Zoo is owned by Freiberg City and maintained by an association called Freiberger Tierpark e.V. since October 30, 2015. It aims to make the zoo more family-friendly and the Entrance free. The zoo cares for a host of cute and interesting animals such as Alpakas, Deers, Birds, Donkeys, Sheep, Wild Boars, Rabits and many more. It's open from 9AM to 6PM during Summer (April-October) and 9AM-3:30 PM during Winter (November-March) except on Mondays.

Here is a picture of the Deer near the North East Entrance. The Buck seemed to be checking the Albino one which chose to lay down after a full meal.

The same was true for the Sheep on the other fence which seemed to enjoy the company of friends after breakfast.

While others were still resting the donkeys here along with the other sheep are up on their feet. The donkey in the middle even gazed towards the camera for a perfect shot.

The ducks here were definitely still sleeping ducking their heads inside their fluffy shoulders. Must have been a great duck night party to be still dozing off at 11AM.

The Alpakas are a recent addition to the zoo made possible through a generous donation. Thank you very much ☺️. The Alpakas are very cute and fluffy. They are near the North West and East Entrance.


The zoo is located at Chemnitzer Straße 8T 09599 Freiberg and is a few minutes away from major city attractions such as Johannisbad and the UNESCO renowned Old City Freiberg. It offers ample parking space and has a Bus Stop called Goethestr/Tierpark in front of the North East Entrance. Bus C Busbahnhof passes here every hour and takes around 25 minutes to reach from the main Train Station Freiberg (Sachs). 

The pin shows where the Bus Stop is located.


It will take around 5 Minutes by car from Freiberg Main Train Station, around 26 minutes by Bus, 
or a 21 Minute Walk.

There's an ice cream station located near the North Entrance and a small playground with swings near the North East Side. A bakeshop called Bäckerei Wolf is also nearby along Chemnitzer Straße which is just a few minutes away from the Parking Space at the North Entrance. The chocolate dipped Florentine cookie there is a must try. Nearby is Vivaldi which serve Indian Cuisine when you take the North West Side Exit beside Johannisbad. Just beyond is Albert Park which has a beautiful fountain and a medieval staircase. 

If you're looking to spend quality time with family and friends here in Freiberg then visiting the Freiberg Zoo is definitely worth a try.

Tips and Strategies to Pass the Einbürgerungstest or Naturalization Test in Germany I recently took the Einbürgerungstest or Naturalization Test in Germany last Sept 5, 2024 and got 33 out of 33 questions or 100%. If you are interested in getting similar results I will share to you some Tips and Strategies that I used in this blog post. I took the test as part of the requirements listed by the Bürgerburo or Citzens Office of the Landratsamt or District Office in Freiberg. In order to make this blog post easy to follow,  I divided it into 3 Parts: Registration, Preparation, and Examination. Registration I went to the nearest Volkhochschule and made an examination appointment. The officer will ask for your eAT/Ausweiß or Residence Permit and a €27 fee. Not all branches of Volkhochshule offer this exam. I had to go to the next city which is in Dresden to register. My initial schedule on August was cancelled due to unavailability of the examination procter. I was informed of this throu...

Christmas in Sachsen

How did we celebrate Christmas in Sachsen? It started on 24th of December by lighting up the 4th Candle for the 4th Sunday or Advent.         4 Candles for Advent Photo taken Dec 24, 2023 The day before, the 23rd, we tried to visit Moritzburg and the garden but the snow proved to be too strong. Radio reports multiple accidents and incidents so we decided to head back and enjoy the view.     Snow covered trees and meadows taken Dec. 23, 2023 The snow covered almost everything. The meadows, dainty houses, and the trees look particularly beautiful like cake topped with fine sugar.       Snow covered plains and houses Dec. 23, 2023 Fast forward to the afternoon of the 24th, Grandma came with gifts for everyone which we laid down along with the other gifts under the Christmas tree. We went to a Christmas Vesper at St. Ursula.       Christmas Tree and gifts Photo take...

Freiberg Rainy Get Together

Bild
Who went to Freiberg Christmas Market last Thursday? We did. Who saw the fallen Christmas Decorations? A lot of Glühwein fans did. It started with drizzles followed by full blown heavy showers. No wonder the poor small christmas decorations went bonkers.        Freiberg Christmas Market taken Dec. 21, 2023 Did it stop us? Oh no. We're not made of sugar. No amount of rain could melt our plans. As long as it's not flooding. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to Bremen recently. We did wait for the rain to wane though before heading out from our cozy Christmas Hut.          Freiberg Christmas Market taken Dec. 21, 2023 We made a small tour then took a stopover at a Wein Hut. I went to a nearby Sparkasse ATM. Oh yes. There's an Automat or ATM Machine direct at the Christmas Market. Isn't that convenient?  Rain was on full blast again so we went to DM to warm up and grab some shopping essentials. We then spent the r...
