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.

Wild Sihlwald

May event for the whole family

At the traditional May event organized by the local nature conservation associations, the focus this year is on the wild Sihlwald forest.

Monday, 28. April 2025

Together with the Thalwil Nature and Bird Conservation Association and the Sihl Valley Nature Conservation Association, Wilnidspark Zurich is celebrating the "25 years of the wild Sihlwald" anniversary on Sunday, May 4, at the Gattikon forest pond.

A program for the whole family

From 10:00 a.m., the post run will start, where families, children and all nature enthusiasts can test their knowledge of the Sihlwald and its inhabitants. There will also be plenty to eat and drink: the festival restaurant awaits you with tasty grilled sausages, sweet delicacies and refreshing drinks - perfect for enjoying the day to the full.

The Friends of the Zurich Wilderness Park will provide even more fun with the game "Who can crack the nut?". And if you're interested in the local wildlife, you can look forward to a real highlight: native crayfish! You can observe these fascinating animals up close and admire them in their natural environment.
