Wilderness Park Zurich Sihlwald

Highlight • Forest

The Sihlwald is the first protected area in Switzerland to be awarded and certified as a national park with the label "Nature Adventure Park".
Since 2000, the Sihlwald has been left to itself, natural processes run undisturbed.
A wilderness is emerging. There is a lot of dead wood in the natural forest reserve, as fallen trees are left lying and left to their natural dynamics.

Schnabelburg ruins

Highlight • Castle

Ruins are always a highlight, even if they consist only of very small walls, as is the case here. Several benches invite you to take a break, and there's even an official fire pit (please refrain from using the unofficial ones to avoid endangering the ruins). The narrow paths leading to Schnabelburg Castle are an experience in themselves.

Bürglenstutz - Highest point of the Albis chain (915 meters)

Highlight • Summit

Especially in autumn and in spring you can enjoy a beautiful view here. On the way to the Albis restaurant, you come to a ridge section that gradually recovers after the devastation caused by the storm. A good reason to go there again and to observe this process.

Albis-Hochwacht Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The observation tower is in the truest sense of the word the highlight of a run through the Sihlwald. If the calves are not glowing yet, you can change that on the 153 steps to the observation deck. At the top there is the reward by return: In good weather you have a breathtaking view to the Bernese Alps and the Jura.

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a great view over Lake Zurich. The number of many houses in the distance is impressive.
