Sihlwald, Protected forest reserve in Zürich, Switzerland.
The Sihlwald extends across 1,100 hectares of natural beech forest, providing a natural habitat for numerous plant and animal species near Zürich.
The forest transitioned from Habsburg ownership through church property to city ownership before becoming Switzerland's first nature discovery park in 2010.
The Sihlwald Exhibition spans two floors, presenting the transformation of commercial woodland into a natural forest through educational displays and artifacts.
The Visitor Center operates from March 30th to October 28th, offering a bookstore, exhibition space, outdoor playground, and three designated fireplaces with free firewood.
Rangers patrol the forest regularly, ensuring conservation protocols while sharing knowledge about natural processes occurring without human interference in the protected zones.
