    In the Sihlwald forest near Lake Zurich, nature is left to its own devices. After the beech forest supplied the city of Zurich with firewood for centuries, no more trees have been felled since 2000. Now a primeval beech forest can grow here again, like the one that once covered most of Europe: with centuries-old giant trees, dead wood - which serves as a habitat for insects - and an impenetrable thicket of ferns and bushes.

    Near Sihlwald train station there is a visitor center with a museum, playground and souvenir shop, as well as the Sihlwald restaurant. Here you can also get useful information about the Zurich Wilderness Park and the imaginative Sihlwald forest adventure trail. Entry to the Sihlwald forest and the visitor center is free. Entry to the Natural History Museum is subject to a fee. zuerich.com/de/besuchen/natur/sihlwald-zuerich
