The park maintains the only stable, genetically pure herd of white red deer in the Czech Republic.
It operates a specialized rehabilitation station that treats dozens of injured birds of prey annually.
The white deer population here dates back to a specific lineage imported by the Auersperg noble family in the 1800s.
The facility works with local conservationists to reintroduce rehabilitated birds into the wild whenever possible.
Unlike traditional zoos, the primary mission of this park is focused on the conservation and rehabilitation of native Central European fauna.
Obora Žleby is a specialized wildlife park in the Czech Republic recognized for its successful white deer breeding program. The facility serves as a rescue center for injured birds of prey and other native forest animals. Visitors can observe rare white red deer, which are descendants of a herd brought to the region in the 19th century. The site is situated adjacent to the historical Žleby State Chateau. It functions as an educational hub focusing on forest ecology and predator-prey dynamics. Public programs often include demonstrations of falconry and bird flight displays. The park layout allows for close-up observation of animals in semi-natural conditions. It is one of the few places in Central Europe where the white color mutation of the red deer can be studied in a protected environment.
