Parks · Sihlwald / Langnau am Albis
Switzerland's only natural forest park, a protected wilderness of ancient beech and spruce reached directly from Zurich HB by the S10 line. Marked trails follow the Sihl river and climb through the forest, and dogs are welcome throughout.
A genuine wilderness hike minutes from the city, with a riverside strip where dogs may legally run free.
Per Wildnispark rules, all dogs must be leashed in the entire area except the strip between the Sihluferweg and the Sihl, where off-leash is allowed 1 August to 31 March; leashing is compulsory during the wildlife breeding season (April-July). Dogs are barred from parts of the Langenberg wildlife park, and waste must be carried out.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
