Prehistoric Trail

Wildnispark Zürich Sihlwald - The journey into prehistoric times leads to traces of our ancestors in the Bone Forest. Try to identify the remains of the hunts. In the Fire Cave, wall paintings show the deep connection that Stone Age people had with the animal world.

Travel back to prehistoric times on this circular trail in the western part of Langenberg Wildlife Park. The journey begins at the fox barn, where you can observe the foxes in a farm environment. Foxes find niches to live in everywhere and also like to hide near humans. From the fox barn, the circular trail leads steeply uphill to the Fire Cave. In the Fire Cave, wall paintings show the deep connection that Stone Age people had with the animal world. Then continue on to the traces of our Stone Age ancestors in the Bone Forest. Here, try to identify the remains of the hunters. There are fire pits and seating areas at the Fire Cave and the Bone Forest. From there, you can observe bison and wild horses – let your mind take you back to a Stone Age hunting scene. This is followed by a descent through the forest, past the fallow deer enclosure and back to the fox barn.
