Sihlwald Exhibition

From commercial to natural forest

The visitor centre with the Sihwald exhibition is located around 5 minutes' walk from Sihlwald railway station. It shows how the formerly intensively utilised forest is developing into a pristine, wild natural forest. The Sihlwald, its history and its inhabitants are brought to life on two floors: Films, research stations, stories to marvel at, caves to play in, animals to touch, scent trails for fine noses and much more make the exhibition unforgettable for visitors of all ages.
