You step out of a quiet car into the cool air of the Isar floodplain; the city’s hum fades and calls of monkeys and birds thread through the trees. Tierpark Hellabrunn stretches along the riverbank, a living map where animals are arranged by geographic region rather than in isolated cages—an idea born here over a century ago.
