Wildpark Langenberg
The park was founded in 1869 by the Zürich city forester Carl Anton Ludwig von Orelli, making it the oldest Swiss wildlife park. In 2009, the management of the Langenberg Wildlife Park was combined with that of the nearby Sihlwald forest, to form the Zürich Wilderness Park.
Langenberg is home to around 20 native or formerly native animals such as bears, beavers, elk, hare, lynxes, wild boar, and wolves. In 2012, European bison and Przewalski’s horse were introduced to the park.
The wildlife park can be reached via the Wildpark-Höfli railway station, served by service S4 of the Zurich S-Bahn or by bus (Stop Langnau am Albis, Schwerzi-Wildpark or Langnau am Albis, Altersheim).
