Are the climbing routes and difficulty levels the same at every location?
No, each location has unique routes tailored to the trees and terrain.

Check out the route offerings for each location on the website for specific information. We think all locations are cool!
Can I visit all Klimbos locations with one ticket?

Choose a location
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!
