Záchranná stanice Berkut

In 1993 the Berkut Foundation has built a rescue station in the park of Chateau Kynžvart. Although there were mainly handicapped animals (especially roptors, owls, local song birds, but also roe deer, badgers etc.), the station also served as a mini-zoo with healthy animals - mostly as a deposit from various zoos (Brno, Olomouc etc.) - bush dog, lynx, raptors, swans and other water birds. Rescue station closed at the Kynžvart Chateau in 2005. ZO ČSOP (Basic organization of the Czech Union for Nature Conservation) Berkut then concentrated to saving of the botanic garden in Bečov nad Teplou (which did not work about 60 years) and operates it to today.
