Sihlwald–Langenberg, Riverside Path

On the Sihl riverside path from the visitor centre to Langenberg Wildlife Park.

From the visitor centre in Sihlwald, walk past the railway station and over a bridge to the other side of the Sihl, then turn left towards Langnau am Albis. A natural path leads along the river. There are small structures such as damp areas and nutrient-poor meadows to discover, which provide a valuable habitat for many animal and plant species. Cross the Sihl on the footpath along the railway bridge in Gattikon. From the footbridge along the spinning mill site, you can often see dippers and occasionally kingfishers. The path continues on the left side of the Sihl to the Wildpark-Höfli station and from here, follow the hiking trail signs towards Langenberg. On the way, an amphibian pond invites you to take a break and observe the wildlife. From there, a final steep section of the trail leads past wolves and wildcats to the cosy terrace of the Langenberg restaurant. Alternative: From Langnau-Gattikon station, take the hiking trail through the village to the main entrance of the animal park in 40 minutes.
