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.

Underwater worlds in the middle of a natural forest?

Our spring tip: Examine tree stumps, deadwood fungi, lichens and mosses up close for once.

In addition to a simple magnifying glass, all you need is time and leisure. Discover unexpected worlds: Viewed through the magnifying glass, the structures of a decaying tree stump are reminiscent of underwater worlds. Lichens and mosses that look like corals through magnifying glass will impress the explorers. What does a mushroom remind you of when viewed from below? There are no limits to your imagination.


Please remember: you are not allowed to leave the paths in the protected, well-marked core zone. It is best to look for a nice spot in the nature discovery zone. We wish you an exciting and unforgettable adventure in the Sihlwald.
