Due to the ongoing heat wave and drought, there is a significant risk of forest fires in the canton of Zurich (Level 4 out of 5). Accordingly, a strict fire ban is in effect in the Sihlwald, on the grounds of the Sihlwald Visitor Center, and at the Langenberg Wildlife Park.

Experience, enjoy and understand nature

In front of the gates of the cities of Zurich and Zug.

The Wildnispark Zurich offers unique experiences in nature at two locations: the Langenberg Wildlife Park in Langnau am Albis invites visitors to meet native animals. The Sihlwald Nature Discovery Park offers a unique combination of forest, wilderness and river landscape. The Sihlwald hamlet is home to the visitor center with an exhibition, playground and fire pits.

Our commitment to Europe’s largest cat

Reintroduction of lynx

Wild lynx are endangered in Europe, as their small and often isolated populations suffer from genetic depletion. The Wildnispark Zurich supports the conservation of the species by releasing lynx born at Langenberg Wildlife park back into the wild. By making a donation, you can help the Wildnispark Zurich to continue these efforts and ensure that, in future too, young lynx are prepared for life in the wild in conditions as close to nature as possible.
