"Wilderness fascinates"
New photo exhibition at the Nature Museum
On Sunday, March 26, the visitor center of the Zurich Wilderness Park in Sihlwald will reopen its doors. A new special exhibition at the Nature Museum shows the fascinating beauty of the wilderness.
A spiky Christmas menu for the moose in Langenberg
Moose feed almost exclusively on conifers for months in winter. The animals eat a lot - several trees a day. Unsold Christmas trees from the region are therefore welcome. A well-established win-win situation is once again providing much joy for humans and animals this year.
Insects in the forest - diverse, amazing and indispensable
Up to 60,000 insect species live in Switzerland. However, only half of these have been researched. The "Insects" wilderness day offers visitors to the Zurich Wilderness Park the opportunity to find out more about these small creatures.
Time and place: Sihlwald, Sunday, September 25 from 1.30 to 4.30 pm.
The shaggy giants have arrived in the Jura!
Wisent Thal" project
The go-ahead has been given for a pioneering species conservation project in the Solothurn municipality of Welschenrohr: Here, the "Wisent Thal" association wants to investigate whether the European bison can be reintroduced to Switzerland. On September 15, five young bison from the Zurich Langenberg Wilderness Park arrived in the Thal district.
New pair of otters in Zurich Wilderness Park
The otter enclosure at Langenberg Animal Park in Sihlwald has gained another attraction: two more otters have been living here for a few days now. The pair will hopefully produce offspring next spring; the two previous animals are already a little older and can enjoy their retirement in the Zurich Wilderness Park.
Documentary film about the Zurich Sihlwald Wilderness Park
Next Friday, July 8, Swiss Television will present a documentary on SRF 1 about Switzerland's first nature discovery park - the Zurich Sihlwald Wilderness Park. The report marks the start of a 5-part series on Swiss parks of national importance.
Swedish elk cow at Langenberg Zoo
A cow moose from Sweden has recently taken up residence at Zurich Wilderness Park. After surviving her time in quarantine well, she is now being reunited with the two moose already living at Langenberg Zoo.
New additions to the Zurich Wilderness Park!
Numerous kittens have been born at Langenberg Zoo in recent weeks - including wildcats, Przewalski foals, newborns and fawns. Particularly pleasing: the new she-wolf has also given birth to four pups. On Sunday, June 26, the "Young Animals" wildlife day offers visitors an exciting look behind the scenes.
Annual report 2021
The rush of visitors was followed by capricious weather
The capricious weather of 2021 has also left its mark on Zurich Wilderness Park. Masses of snow, storms and constant rain kept the ranger team and animal keepers on their toes. Visitor numbers remained high in the second year of the pandemic.
Immerse yourself in the world of rodents: the new "Squirrels" exhibition
Feel, see and smell like a squirrel for a few hours: special glasses, scents to guess and other adventure stations make it possible to experience the special abilities of squirrels. The "Squirrel" exhibition can be seen from April 27 at the Nature Museum in Sihlwald.
