Plenty of parking. Three grill places open to the public with free firewood. Plenty of tables and seating for free protected from rain in the two large sheds. Large playground, restaurant and a visitor centre complete the list of structures. Nearby exhibits for children include otters, fish and beavers. Great setting off point for nature hikes in the Sihlwald (Sihl Forest) as well as cycling. Plenty of parking but make sure you pay and display or chances are you WILL get a fine. Bring lots of food and a grille and BBQ to your heart's content.

Otters and beavers are kept in enclosures, with lights illuminating the enclosure of the nocturnal beavers. Free for people coming by train, else parking ticket contributes to maintaining the place.

Museum

👍 Sehr gute Informationen vor der Besichtugung des Bergwerks. Es ist ein Erlebnis mit dem Zügli durch die Gänge zu fahren. Leider mussten sicherheitshalber alle Seitenstollen zugemacht werden. Aber allgemein sehr Interessant und sehenswert.

Sihlwald

Nature preserve

👍👍 Very nice place along the Sihltaal along the water. There is one or the other possibility to roast a Servelat for the dog, it's also great because he can go anywhere to the river to drink water. We were met by gold panners, to our astonishment there were also fishermen with patents.

Waterfall Horgen

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Easy to reach it by foot. You can walk from edge of town Horgen till the water fall on a stoned path near by the river came from the water fall. I suggest to fullfill the whole way from the train station on foot.
