    The Sihlwald is a pristine natural forest south of Zurich where logging has been prohibited for years. Fallen giants of trees, moss-covered trunks, and dense foliage create a wild and romantic atmosphere. Along the Sihl River, you'll experience tranquility, birdsong, and a pure connection with nature – true wilderness right on the city's doorstep.

      I often climb up from the Sihltal to the Albishorn. The impressions change depending on the season. Spring is particularly impressive with the many bird calls and the aroma of wild garlic.
