The zoo is situated in the Bieszczady region, known for having one of the lowest light pollution levels in Poland, making it a Dark Sky Park area.
The enclosures are designed to mimic the natural Bieszczady mountain habitat rather than traditional cage-style exhibits.
The facility is family-run and emphasizes direct observation of herd animals in a mountain forest setting.
Forest Zoo Liszna (Zwierzyniec Liszna) is a private wildlife park located in the Bieszczady Mountains, focusing on indigenous European species and animals adapted to the local climate. The park is situated in a natural forested area, emphasizing an open-air enclosure style that allows animals to roam in semi-natural conditions. The collection includes species such as fallow deer, red deer, mouflons, and wild boar. The layout consists of a walking trail that navigates through the wooded terrain of the Liszna valley. It operates as an educational and leisure facility integrated into the rural landscape of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship.

Wear sturdy, waterproof hiking boots as the paths are natural soil and can be muddy.
Bring weather-appropriate layers, as mountain temperatures fluctuate significantly compared to the lowlands.
Keep a respectful distance from the fenced animals to avoid startling them during feeding times.
Do not attempt to pet the animals through the fences; avoid loud noises that can disturb the wildlife in the forested valley.
Operating season is typically limited to the warmer months of the year; closed during deep winter due to snow cover and difficult terrain access.
Do not feed animals personal food items; follow posted signage regarding proximity to enclosures; stay on designated trails.
