Gnaw marks on young trees were the first to give it away. A wildlife camera and tracks in the snow provided proof shortly afterwards: the beaver has arrived in Sihlwald - a welcome addition to the biodiversity of the Zurich Wilderness Park!

New prices for parking in the Zurich Wilderness Park 

The Wildnispark Zurich Foundation is increasing the daily flat rates for visitor parking by five francs as of  1st January 2024. The foundation uses this income to finance a significant part of its operations.

New tenant for the Langenberg restaurant from 2024

Young lynxes in the Zurich Wilderness Park

A trip to Langenberg Zoo is particularly worthwhile at the moment. Young animals can be observed in many animal species. Particularly pleasing: the lynxes have also given birth again - two females. These two should one day contribute to the preservation of the free-living lynx population in Europe.
