Wildnispark Zürich Sihlwald - Easy hike up to the Albis Ridge and then down to the Türler Lake
From Wildnispark Zurich Langenberg, head towards the ‘Schwerzi-Wildpark’ stop, then turn right and follow the yellow signs through the upper part of the village of Langnau. After about 40 minutes, you will reach the forest. The yellow signs point the way to ‘Schnabellücken’. This path is narrow and steep. It leads through the beautiful wilderness of the Sihlwald forest. To the left and right of the path, you can discover woodpecker holes and many other animal tracks. Once you arrive at Albisgrat, at the ‘Schnabellücken’ sign, the path continues westwards downhill to Tüfenbach and Vollenweid until it reaches Türlersee. In summer, you can end your hike here with a refreshing swim or enjoy a cool drink at the Türlen restaurant.
Suitable as a day trip for schools. Combine the start or end of the hike in Langenberg with watching animals in the Wildlife park and swimming in Lake Türlersee. The hike in the opposite direction (from Türlen to Langenberg) is easier as the ascent is less steep.
