"The wildlife park is great fun, especially for children, with its large, natural enclosures. Some deer are petting animals, and there are even goats that enjoy being brushed and cuddled. Adjacent to the park is a vast forest with rugged rock formations, and there's also a tall tower with a magnificent view of the area."
