What is plucking?
Tumbling - or ziplining - is one of the most fun parts of our climbing forest. You whizz at speed from tree to tree on a steel cable, while hanging securely in your harness. Using a pulley, you glide smoothly down the zip line and feel the wind past your face. A real floating-moment-between-the-trees experience!
How many zip lines does a climbing forest have?
This varies from location to location and from route to route. At least in all our climbing forests you will find climbing routes in which zip-lining is central: the brown routes. These largely consist of zip lines. In addition, some sites have special junior zip lines, recognisable by the symbol on the starting board. Thus, there is a suitable challenge for every age and level.
How does plucking work?
Before you enter the forest, you will always get a comprehensive safety instruction from our team. There we show you exactly how the plucking works. You will learn, among other things:
- How to attach your extra tack hook to the fuse cable
- What the right starting position is and how best to sit in the air
- How to steer
- What to do if you narrowly miss the other side
- When the next contestant may leave
That way, you will always go into the air well-prepared and confident.
Frequently asked questions
Can I fall while strumming?
No. You are continuously fused with our safety system, which means you can never become disconnected from the cable.
Is strumming scary?
The first time can be quite exciting. But once you've ventured the first jump, we almost always hear, “That was fun, one more time!” Feel free to start with a short, low runway to get used to it.
Do I have to be strong to pluck?
No, not at all. Gravity does the work for you.
Can I pluck if I am afraid of heights?
Many visitors with a fear of heights dare to go anyway, precisely because the safety is so visible and palpable. And often confidence grows with every step.
Why strumming is a real must-try
Tumbling is adventure, fun and nature experience all in one. Whether you choose a complete zipline route or a climbing route with a few beautiful zip lines, you will never forget the feeling of floating between the treetops. Thanks to our professional guidance, high-quality equipment and strict safety standards, zip-lining is suitable for both young and old.
A day of climbing and zip-lining is perfect for families, groups of friends, schools and companies who want to experience something active and adventurous together.
Do you dare to fly from tree to tree?
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!
