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.

The ibex are in rut

The male ibexes are currently "pleading" for the favor of the females with a special posture.

Wednesday, 09. November 2022

The males tilt their heads back and raise their tails. The animals stick out their tongues to smell the female's scent hormones. Experience the mating season as a special animal spectacle!
