A new attraction at the Zittauer Mountains is the Butterfly House Jonsdorf, which opened its gates on 7th of�February, to inspire visitors from near and far with lots of highlights.
The tropical house has an area of�over 500qm, which gives 60 visitors at the same time the option to admire and discover�the new animals calmly.

The advantage of the new hall: There is lots of free room with lots of light so that the plants have room to grow.
Banana plants are a great food source for the over 35 different butterfly species who cavort under the cupola roof.���
It is a�unique experience when over 300 exotic butterflies show off their best side.
So the visitor has to be alert as not to�overlook any animal.��

There is a great variety of reptiles, snakes and spiders for example tarantulas, iguana and turtles. They live in the terrariums at the entrance. Some animals like the stick-insect can be touched to the delight of the children.

The 3m long sea-water Aquarium is also part of a diverse list of attractions but it will only be populated completely in autumn�
as every animal (spiders, scorpions and so forth) has to be acclimatised slowly.

There are of course also relevant lectures and qualified guided tours.�

Everybody will find a place to rest like at the Cafeteria�with snacks and cocktails.
