"Wilderness fascinates"
New photo exhibition at the Nature Museum
On Sunday, March 26, the visitor center of the Zurich Wilderness Park in Sihlwald will reopen its doors. A new special exhibition at the Nature Museum shows the fascinating beauty of the wilderness.
Untouched forests, majestic mountains, pristine river landscapes or the hedgehog in your own garden: Wilderness is fascinating. The Nature Museum in Sihlwald is dedicating a special exhibition to it this year. It shows the most beautiful pictures from the national photo competition "Wilderness - more space for nature!" organized by Pro Natura and pictures from the Sihlwald Nature Adventure Park.
To mark the opening of the special exhibition and ring in the new season, there will be a small, atmospheric celebration in Sihlwald on March 26. At 2 pm and 3 pm, we will be offering a short guided tour for those interested in history: "Colonie Sihlwald: From idyll to work site and back again". Further information on the opening day.
Mushroom hunt for children
Numerous interesting courses, wilderness days and adventure Saturdays are on the program from the end of March to the end of October. There is a new "Animal creative family course", in which participants observe and draw wild animals under guidance. At Langenberg Zoo, animal keepers tell exciting stories about the Norway rat every Wednesday.
Young visitors won't miss out either: children who enjoy solving puzzles can look forward to a treasure hunt on the grounds of the visitor center, where everything revolves around the realm of mushrooms. Whoever answers all the questions will receive a prize.
