How safe is the climbing forest? All about safety measures

24 January 2026

An important question for many visitors: is the climbing forest safe? The answer is a definite yes! Safety in the climbing forest always comes first. Here you can read all about the safety measures, the fuse system and why you can climb among the trees with peace of mind.

Safety first in the climbing forest

How safe is climbing in a climbing forest? Very safe, thanks to:

✓ Carefully designed routes
✓ Strict safety measures
✓ Continuous fuse system
✓ Professional instructors
✓ Certified material
✓ Regular inspections

The continuous fuse system: how does it work?

The heart of safety in the climbing forest is the continuous fuse system:

The principle

  • You wear a climbing belt (harness) around your waist and legs
  • A safety hook (specially designed carbine) is attached to the belt
  • This hook goes over the route's fuse cable
  • The hook cannot technically detach itself from the cable

How does it work during climbing?

  1. You climb from platform to platform
  2. The climbing hook slides along on the fuse cable
  3. At transition points, you slide the hook across a plate to the next piece of cable
  4. The system catches you if you slip or fall

Supervision by instructors

Who supervises during climbing? Professional instructors are always present and they pay attention to the following:

✓ Monitoring routes
✓ Answer questions
✓ Encourage
✓ Intervene if necessary

Frequently asked questions about security

Can you fall in the climbing forest?

It is possible to slip or misstep, for example, but you never fall down. The fuse cable catches you.

Can I be the heavy?

Is it safe if I am afraid of heights?

Yes, the system remains safe. Start with low routes to get used slowly.
