Attention: Cycle route 94 is closed here due to construction work from 27.04.2026 - 02.11.2026 (at least partial sections) and is diverted from Sihlwald station to Alter Bahnhof Sihlbrugg via Sihltalstrasse (signposted on site). See Schweiz Mobil info.

A pleasant path runs along the Sihl, shaded in summer, always following the bank directly. Runners meet here in the southwest of Zurich.

A special park, designed as a Japanese garden, with a marsh and ponds with koi, a small café for strolling and relaxing, and meditative paths and squares. Especially recommended in spring when many flowers are in bloom.

The view is truly beautiful. However, anyone wanting to swim will have to take a detour, as swimming is not permitted at this spot.

Depending on the season, you'll find wonderful flowers and plants. Or, you can simply relax under the shady trees. There's also a barefoot path through partly moorland, which can be bypassed if necessary. Don't forget your mosquito repellent! A small snack bar invites you to enjoy a coffee or salad at lunchtime.
