Discover the most fun outdoor adventure!

Summer holidays are just around the corner and you may be wondering: What can you do this summer in the Netherlands? Whether you are looking for an active day out, an original family outing or just want to get outside, you will find the answer in the middle of nature, high up among the trees: the climbing forest!

Why choose an outdoor activity this summer?

Summer is the time to get out and about. With long days and pleasant temperatures, many people seek out nature. But how do you make your day out something you really remember? An outdoor activity offers adventure, fresh air and quality time together. No busy museums or indoor activities, but the freedom of the forest, the fun of climbing together and the excitement of new heights.

What makes a climbing forest so much fun in summer?

A climbing forest is the perfect combination of adventure, exercise and fun. You climb up ladders, wobble over ropes and hurtle from tree to tree via zip lines. It is a unique experience for young and old. Whether you come with children, friends or colleagues: each course offers a different challenge.

At Klimbos Netherlands, there are different levels, so even if you've never climbed before, you can set off safely and with confidence. Our smart, continuous securing system ensures that you are always secured, which is reassuring!

Each of the locations is unique, but one thing they have in common is the beautiful surroundings. 

All our climbing forests are located in real forests, where we do not use climbing poles. This gives you the best climbing experience! We build and maintain the routes ourselves and they are inspected externally for safety. Our staff is trained to give safety instructions and to give you the best experience. A day you will never forget!
