25 years wild Sihlwald

What is that rustling? A small histerbeetle crawls between moss-covered tree roots and perforated trunks. It is the symbol of the return of the wilderness. The Sihlwald has not been managed for 25 years. Rare species of fungi and lichens, as well as the abraeus parvulus beetle, have found a home here again – a real sensation!

A new hiking suggestion, 12 exciting events (German only) and blog posts in the newsletter (German only) await you at the WIldnispark Zurich to mark the anniversary. Follow the fascinating story of the Sihlwald and accompany the abraeus parvulus beetle through a year full of discoveries!
