After the heavy thunderstorms there is a lot of loose dead wood and fallen trees can block paths. Please be careful and do not rest under scrawny trees.

Due to the ongoing heat wave and drought, there is a considerable risk of forest fires in the canton of Zurich (level 3 out of 5). We kindly ask you not to light fires in the Sihlwald. You may use the marked fireplaces in the Langenberg Wildlife Park. Please always extinguish the fire completely.

New pair of foxes at Langenberg Zoo

With a bit of luck, foxes can be spotted again at Langenberg Zoo.

The Zurich Wilderness Park received a new female fox at the end of October and a male fox at the beginning of December. The two were recently brought together in the fox enclosure.

The two are still relatively rarely seen during the day; they tend to be nocturnal. But they are there - as the thermal image proves!

Incidentally, the mating season for red foxes runs from December to February. However, it remains to be seen whether cubs will be born this year. The two new arrivals are still very young themselves.
