Wildnispark Zürich Sihlwald - A pile of branches here, a few piled stones there and an insect hotel on the wall – all places where lizards, hedgehogs, bees, and other small animals find a home.
Right next to the entrance to the visitor centre in Sihlwald, there is an educational trail showing how small animals such as sand lizards, wild bees, hedgehogs and other small creatures can be supported. The so-called ‘small animal commune’ provides a protected habitat for various species of lizards and wild bees, butterflies and hedgehogs. Follow the nature trail or simply stroll through the small site and watch the lizards basking in the sun or the bees as they fly from flower to flower.
