Are you looking for a unique and adventurous outing in the middle of nature? A climbing forest offers excitement, fun and an unforgettable experience for young and old. In this article, you will discover exactly what a climbing forest is, how long your visit lasts, and above all: why you really should plan a day trip to a climbing forest. Read on and get inspired!


What is a climbing forest?

A climbing forest is an adventure park where you can tackle challenging courses high among the trees. You will find all kinds of exciting obstacles, such as rope bridges, climbing walls, ziplines and wobbly platforms. Each route has a different level of difficulty, so that both beginners and experienced climbers get their money's worth.

Thanks to modern safety equipment, such as a climbing harness and a continuous securing system, you can enjoy the adventure without worries. Moreover, a climbing forest is often beautifully located in a wooded area, providing a wonderful combination of action and nature.


How long does a visit to a climbing forest last?

A visit to a climbing forest usually takes about 3 hours, depending on how many routes you want to try and how fast you climb. Each location has several routes which vary in difficulty and height.

You always start your adventure with a short mandatory safety briefing, so you know exactly how to get started. Put on comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes - you will need these to climb smoothly through the trees.

Tip: Plan enough time, as you will probably want to try more routes than you think beforehand!
