Forest Nature Trail in the winter
Insights into the natural forest in winter
Season
All season
On the Forest Nature Trail you also get to learn the secrets of the forest in winter, and in a creative and imaginative way you come into contact from head to toe with the Sihlwald.
In winter, the Forest Discovery Trail offers a glimpse into the secrets of the wintry Sihlwald and is a treat for the senses. The trail features 12 stations: counting tree rings, identifying trees, exploring natural soundscapes, observing and discovering amazing things. Walk along a footbridge (which can be slippery when wet) through the fairytale-like bog forest, perceive deadwood as a source of life, find out how a tree drinks, or compete with the animals in the long jump. The Forest Adventure Trail starts and ends at the junction of Sihluferweg and Forststrasse. A few minutes’ walk downstream along the Sihl is the wilderness playground on the Sihlwald visitor centre grounds.
