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.

The new "rat garden" is being created

First steps after the groundbreaking ceremony

Because rats like water, they will soon have access to a pond in Langenberg. Martin Kilchenmann, Head of Animals, shows the new rat enclosure in the video.

The construction work is proceeding as planned: The pipes were recently laid. A connecting pipe, which allows the rats to circulate freely between the indoor and outdoor facilities, has also been installed. The indoor area in the muesli hut has already been covered with a new floor. Martin Kilchenmann, Head of Animals, shows the planned outdoor facility in the video and reveals how the animals are motivated to swim.
