Tropical AquariumExperience sharks here as well as land animals from the tropics and sub-tropics.
Pink Pelicans
On land, these birds appear to be clumsy and slow. But when they take wing, they are elegant fliers. Since they are used to a warm climate, they winter in heated quarters.
Siberian Tigers These tigers, who have produced several sets of offspring, are an example of the great success of the zoo’s breeding programmes.
In the wild, they are threatened with extinction.

Kamtschatka BearsFour of these brown bears have lived at the zoo since 2007. When they stand upright, they can loom as tall as 3.20 m (10.5 ft).

Jenischpark
Othmarschen. Klein Flottbek.
@ 15, 21, 36, 39.
North of the Elbchaussee, in the Othmarschen quarter of Altona, is the Jenisch park, which stretches over 42 ha (104 acres) of land. It is considered to be one of the most outstanding exam-ples of an English land scape garden in Northern Germany.
This beautiful park, with its giant old maples, oaks and chestnut trees, was designed in 1797 for the merchant Johann Caspar Voght. Afterwards, it became the property of the merchant and, later, Senator, Martin Johann von Jenisch.
Jenisch commissioned archi-tect Karl Friedrich Schinkel to draw up plans for a Neo-Classical villa to be built on the highest spot in the park.
Completed in 1831–34, it is today known as Jenisch Haus.
As a branch museum of the Altonaer Museum, it displays artworks and applied arts. The various periods are displayed in an interesting fashion: the Neo-Classical rooms on the ground floor are decorated with furniture and paintings made during the time the house was created. The rooms on the first floor are decorated with Baroque, Rococo and Biedermeier furnishings. The second floor is reserved for an exhibit on painting, drawing, garden design and architecture.
Nearby is Ernst Barlach Haus, which opened in 1962 as the first private museum in the Hanseatic city, thanks to the financial support of the tobacco company’s Hermann F. Reemtsma Foundation. The museum displays a collection of lithographs, bronzes and ceramics by the North German artist Ernst Barlach (1870–1938).

g ∑ urlaubsregion-altesland.de or tourismus-altesland.de The Altes Land (old country) is the largest continuous fruit-growing district in central Europe, with over 4,000 ha (3,500 acres) of orchards. This fertile marshland is located on the south side of the Elbe, just outside the gates of Hamburg, and stretches between Stade and Buxtehude. About three quarters of the Altes Land is planted with apple trees; espe-cially high yields are given by the Gravenstein, Jonagold, Holstein Cox and Elstar varieties. Cherry and pear trees are also cultivated.
The area was settled as early as the 12th and 13th centuries by the Dutch, who made it arable and erected dikes to protect the cultivated areas. The Altes Land is a popular destination, especially in spring, when the entire region is a sea of blossoms. But also in summer this is an ideal area for enjoying long hikes and cycling trips. During the autumn harvest, the area bustles with activity. The Museum Altes Land in Jork shows how the Altes Land devel oped.

Blankenese
Blankenese. @ 1, 22, 36, 48, 49.
Hamburg’s most elegant suburb started off as a small fishing village. Well into the 18th century, residents of Blankenese lived mainly from seafaring and fishing.
Then, wealthy Hamburg mer-chants discovered this idyllic village and built country houses here. Not much has changed in this respect: Blankenese is still an affluent area to this day.
A walk through the Treppenviertel (stair district) is especially interesting. This district is a chaotic mix of stairways and alleyways located between Strandweg along the Elbe shore and Am Kieke berg, a road that runs along the cliff side. Carefully t ended parks such as Goßlers Park, Hessepark and Baurs Park are also lovely places for a stroll.
