Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience the charm of a classic Danish farm and the excitement of an exotic animal encounter all in one place? Here at Munkholm Zoo Djursland, you can do just that. Situated in the peaceful countryside of Balle, Munkholm Zoo Djursland started its life in 1994 as a dream. Annelise and Benny Johansen, a couple with a passion for animals, purchased a simple plot of land. What began with a single field and a short fence transformed over time into a beloved local attraction. Munkholm Zoo Djursland is now home to an impressive collection of over 400 animals, representing a diverse range of 90 species. As you wander through the zoo, you can meet familiar faces from Danish farms like calves, pigs, sheep, and goats. But the adventure doesn’t stop there.
