Experience, enjoy and understand nature

At the gates of the cities of Zurich and Zug.

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

Making a big difference with small changes

Butterflies at home

Piles of branches and stones, flower meadows or insect hotels provide habitats for lizards, hedgehogs, wild bees and other small animals. You can also encourage small animals in the garden or on the balcony.

How can you do this? You can find the instructions here. Further inspiration can be found in the new small animal commune on the grounds of the visitor centre in Sihlwald – it's well worth a visit!
