Interesting or nice about this vacancy
The Beestenborg petting zoo in Ulgersmaborg has existed for almost 35 years. It is a green space where children and young people can get acquainted with various animals. Additionally, it is a wonderful meeting place for young and old to get to know each other and the world of animals. Since 2014, Beestenborg has featured a large playground with a terrace; this playground holds the NSGK quality mark—in short, a unique place for everyone!
