In the unique Biesbosch nature reserve, you will find Klimbos Dordrecht. Climb the trees over rope bridges, glide through ziplines and clamber over a rope net. And the best part? Tokkel over the beaver pond and who knows, you might even spot a beaver!
The climbing forest
At Klimbos Dordrecht, you will find 7 climbing routes that will take you up to 12 metres high! For everyone from 6 years of age and with a minimum height of 1.20 metres, there are the 3 orange routes. Here you climb through barrels, balance on cables and clamber along nets. A great adventure for young and old.
Are you taller than 1.40 metres? Then you can choose from 4 additional routes, structured like ski runs: from blue (easy) to red (challenging). The higher the colour intensity, the more challenging the route and the more spectacular the views. For the speed demons among us, there is a zip line route (route brown). Glide through the forest with the wind in your hair!
Day out
Want to make a whole day out of it? Then combine the climbing forest with these fun outings at the climbing forest:

When is the climbing forest open?
Our current opening hours can be found at www.klimbos.nl/openingstijden
Do you need to book in advance?
It is not compulsory, but we definitely recommend it! By making a reservation, you are guaranteed a climbing spot. As we work with a limited number of starting spots per instruction, if you do not make a reservation, you may have to wait until the next round of instruction.
How long does a climbing roe last?
A visit to the climbing forest lasts 3 hours. You start with a safety instruction of about 30 minutes and then you can climb independently for another 2.5 hours.
How safe is the climbing forest?
Super safe! We work with a continuous safety system. This means that you secure yourself at the start of a climbing route and can only release yourself at the end. In addition, your climbing outing starts with a compulsory safety instruction, where we teach you everything you need to know about climbing.
Should you wear sportswear?
No, you can just come and climb in your "normal" clothes. Just make sure you can move around comfortably in your outfit and that you wear closed shoes.
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!
