Zurich Wilderness Park, Nature reserve near Zurich, Switzerland.
The Zurich Wilderness Park contains the Sihlwald forest, featuring mixed deciduous and coniferous trees spread across 12 square kilometers along the Sihl River.
The Sihlwald forest became part of Zurich's property in 1309 through a gift from the Habsburg family and served as the city's timber source until the 1990s.
The Langenberg Wildlife Park section showcases 16 native Swiss animal species, including bears, wolves, lynxes, and European bison in natural environment settings.
Visitors can reach both park sections using the S4 Zurich S-Bahn line, stopping at Wildpark-Höfli for Langenberg and Sihlwald station for the forest area.
The Sihlwald forest stands as Switzerland's sole peri-urban nature reserve, combining untamed wilderness with proximity to metropolitan Zurich.
