Restaurant Langenberg open again
"There's something delicious for everyone!"
Celebrate your next children's birthday party at Restaurant Langenberg! Or enjoy a brunch here followed by a guided tour of the park! - After a short renovation break, Restaurant Langenberg will reopen its doors on February 10. In this interview, Managing Director Armin Jucker explains what he wants to offer guests.
The beaver has arrived in Sihlwald
Gnaw marks on young trees were the first to give it away. A wildlife camera and tracks in the snow provided proof shortly afterwards: the beaver has arrived in Sihlwald - a welcome addition to the biodiversity of the Zurich Wilderness Park!
Christmas trees as a feast for the moose
Conifers are essential for the survival of moose in winter. An adult animal eats four to six trees a day. Fortunately, numerous stores in the region donate their unsold Christmas trees to Langenberg Zoo.
New prices for parking in the Zurich Wilderness Park
The Wildnispark Zurich Foundation is increasing the daily flat rates for visitor parking by five francs as of 1st January 2024. The foundation uses this income to finance a significant part of its operations. The reason for the price increase is rising costs for the maintenance of animal facilities and visitor infrastructure.
Wilderness day in the Sihlwald
An exciting event for the whole family: a wilderness day will be held in Sihlwald on September 24. The focus is on the reconquest of the forests by the red deer and the realm of mushrooms.
New tenant for the Langenberg restaurant from 2024
The Langenberg restaurant is passing into new hands: from mid-February 2024, guests at the popular excursion restaurant in the zoo will be served by the Zoo Restaurants GmbH team.
Young lynxes in the Zurich Wilderness Park
A trip to Langenberg Zoo is particularly worthwhile at the moment. Young animals can be observed in many animal species. Particularly pleasing: the lynxes have also given birth again - two females. These two should one day contribute to the preservation of the free-living lynx population in Europe.
Annual Report 2022 of the Zurich Wilderness Park Foundation
Zurich Wilderness Park is and remains a popular excursion destination: a total of 658,000 visits were recorded in Sihlwald and Langenberg Zoo in 2022. The Zurich Wilderness Park Foundation was able to open a new outdoor enclosure for Norway rats at Langenberg Zoo. Another highlight of the year was the transfer of a herd of five bison to Welschenrohr in the canton of Solothurn. An attempt to reintroduce bison is currently underway there - a species conservation project in which the Zurich Wilderness Park is also involved. Interesting research results can be reported from the Sihlwald forest: The proportion of deadwood has increased significantly over the last five years.
Of bisons and butterflies
Wilderness day at Langenberg Zoo for the whole family
A highlight in the Zurich Wilderness Park Foundation's annual program: the "Bison and Butterflies" wilderness day will take place at Langenberg Zoo on 11 June. A varied and playful program allows visitors to experience the native animal world.
