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.

We are passionately committed to the lynx

The Wildnis magazine is here!

Wednesday, 19. March 2025

Our «Wildnis» magazine is now available again at Langenberg Wildlife Park and the Sihlwald Nature Discovery Park Visitor Centre.

Our cover story is dedicated to the lynx. In 2024, two female lynxes born in the Zurich Wilderness Park were released into the wild in Germany; more will follow. The reason: in European countries, lynx living in the wild are threatened by inbreeding. The existing populations must be better networked to ensure regular genetic exchange between them.

We are also focussing on the anniversary of «25 years wild Sihlwald». For a quarter of a century, nature has been allowed to develop freely in the Sihlwald. The transformation from commercial forest to wilderness is impressive and can be experienced at first hand. 

Wir freuen uns, wenn Sie die «Wildnis» inspiriert und Sie zu einem Besuch im Wildnispark Zürich animiert. Das Heft enthält auch unser Veranstaltungs­programm und spannende Ausflugstipps.

We would be delighted if the «Wildnis» inspires you and encourages you to visit the Wildnispark Zurich Park. The magazine also contains our programme of events and exciting excursion tips.
