Hasenrainweg permanently closed

New route is signposted

Pedestrian bridge by the Visitor Centre Sihlwald closed

The pedestrian bridge at the Visitor Centre Sihlwald is closed for safety reasons. A diversion has been signalled.

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.

Road closures

A natural forest like the Sihlwald is characterised by the presence of standing and lying deadwood. Please pay attention to this during your stay in the Sihlwald and do not stay under dry branches or next to rotten trees.
