Enjoying nature, experiencing the forest in a unique way. But how do you prepare, what do you wear, for example? And what else should you take into account?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you already get a lot of information following your booking at the Klimbos. But there are more things you can still do or take into account.
The following tips will help you climb through the trees easily and smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you have good shoes and clothing<\/strong>
However tempting, do not choose trainers with smooth soles. All the elements in the forest are made of wood and this is where you want to be able to stand firmly and not accidentally slip. So go for shoes that have a good tread.
Always check the weather forecast too. In the Netherlands, rain is part and parcel, but a mackintosh or water-repellent jacket will make climbing a bit more comfortable. We also recommend choosing clothes from which you can take off layers. So not too hot and not too cold. It can also be nice to put on an extra layer after climbing, as it is a strenuous activity and you cool down quickly afterwards.
If you take off a layer of clothing between climbing routes, do have your climbing harness double-checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be on time<\/strong>
An open door, but make sure you get to the forest on time. Preferably 15 minutes before your instruction starts. This will give you plenty of time to put your things away and go to the toilet if necessary. You can also look at the map and think of your plan for climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
