The lynx is a pro at camouflage. But in winter, when the trees are bare, they are particularly easy to spot – even at the Langenberg Wildlife Park.

Experience, enjoy and understand nature

In front of the gates of the cities of Zurich and Zug.

The Wildnispark Zurich offers unique experiences in nature at two locations: the Langenberg Wildlife Park in Langnau am Albis invites visitors to meet native animals. The Sihlwald Nature Discovery Park offers a unique combination of forest, wilderness and river landscape. The Sihlwald hamlet is home to the visitor center with an exhibition, playground and fire pits.

A typical wolf pack

Three generations of wolves

In the wild, a wolf pack consists of the parents, the pups and the yearlings. The latter migrate after one to two years to look for a mate.

There are currently also three generations of wolves living at the Langenberg Wildlife Park. It's well worth a visit!
