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.

New protected area marking

The Sihlwald Nature Discovery Park is being given new conservation area markings (green panels) on behalf of the Canton of Zurich.
Thursday, 01. August 2019

As the number of elements of the new signalization is very extensive, not all signs and pillars can be replaced at the same time. It is therefore possible that the information on site is currently somewhat inconsistent. The aim is to have all the new elements in place by the end of the summer. In the meantime, we ask all visitors for their understanding.

There are two reasons for replacing the previous markings:
1. as a national nature discovery park, the Foundation must implement the marking specifications of the Federal Office for the Environment from 2016.
2. the previous visitor guidance - with indications of where something is permitted and without prohibition signs - was unfortunately often not understood by visitors.
