Please take care! At the moment there is a huge risk of forest fires in the canton of Zurich. 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.

A meeting in the forest? Gladly, but with respect please!

Many people are meeting outside again due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Zurich Wilderness Park and numerous other nature reserves are asking people to organize these stays or celebrations with respect for nature.

The rangers recommend the following rules of conduct for a respectful experience of nature:

  • Celebrate in the garden or city park instead of in the nature reserve or forest
  • It is better to celebrate during the day than at night. Wild animals are particularly sensitive to disturbance at dusk and at night
  • Avoid spending the night outdoors
  • Do not leave paths, avoid footpaths and thickets
  • Avoid wildlife reserves
  • Only light fires at official fireplaces; extinguish fires completely
  • Take waste back home with you
  • Keep dogs on a lead.
