«Zolli» (Zoological garden)
The zoo of Basle, "Zolli", is an oasis in the middle of the city. Its strong point isn’t its size, but rather its diversity and creative design. New grounds offer the animals a vast amount of space and a well-adapted environment. For this reason, even feeding the animals is an elaborate element of the zoo's entire concept. Zoo Basle
