Gradual reopening
Overview of the planned stages
Fire ban due to forest fire risk
Due to the persistent breeze and the lack of rain, it is very dry in the Sihlwald and in all forests in the canton of Zurich. There is a high risk of forest fires (level 4 out of 5). For this reason, there is an immediate ban on fires in and near the forest.
Coronavirus epidemic
Due to the measures taken by the Federal Council against the spread of the coronavirus, the Zurich Wilderness Park Foundation is taking the following measures in consultation with the Canton of Zurich's Department of Health:
New website design
After more than ten years, we gave our website a new design on October 4. We hope you like the site. You can now choose from three clearly structured areas. If you are looking for information about our two parks - Naturerlebnispark Sihlwald or Tierpark Langenberg - you will find it under The Park. If you would like to visit us in the near future, you will find all the information you need for successful planning and an eventful stay under Park visit. If you are here to browse through our wide range of offers, we recommend the Offers section. Have fun clicking through our site.
New protected area marking
As the number of elements of the new signalization is very extensive, not all signs and pillars can be replaced at the same time. It is therefore possible that the information on site is currently somewhat inconsistent. The aim is to have all the new elements in place by the end of the summer. In the meantime, we ask all visitors for their understanding.
Open 365 days
Wildnispark Zurich is a unique combination of natural woodland, wilderness and wildlife. We are the centre of excellence for wilderness, and observe, research and educate in step with the rhythm of nature.
Surprising wilderness experiences
We offer our guests personal and surprising wilderness experiences in the greater Zurich area to inspire them.
The Foundation is supported by the city of Zurich, the communes of the district of Horgen, the canton of Zurich and Pro Natura Zurich.
