Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald
About
The Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald is a 1,250‑meter‑long treetop walk that invites visitors to stroll hand‑in‑hand with nature above the dense black‑forest canopy. Set on Bad Wildbad’s Sommerberg, the trail features a 40‑meter‑high observation tower, a 55‑metre tunnel slide, themed night‑lights displays and immersive educational stations. This experience is crafted for all ages and offers a unique, bird‑eye view of the area’s rolling hills and ancient spruce forests. Along the route are interactive learning points that showcase local wildlife, flora, and forest ecology, while the Comic Rallye encourages children to discover the environment in a playful way. The adventure forest adjacent to the trail, with its giant trampoline, zip lines, and climbing castle, provides an additional outlet for families and adventure seekers. Hours of operation run from 09:30 AM to 04:00 PM daily, with special evening schedules for Night Lights events. Accessibility is a priority; the trail and observation tower have no steps and features a gentle maximum gradient of 6 %, making it wheelchair friendly. Free admission is available on a first‑come, first‑served basis, and discounted tickets for people with a valid mobility pass are offered on‑site. Whether you’re a nature lover, a curious family, or an adventure enthusiast, the Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald promises a memorable journey through one of Germany’s most iconic forests.
