Steigerwald treetop walk

Wonderful views over the Steigerwald

The Steigerwald treetop walk is located near Ebrach in the district of Bamberg in the heart of nature. Hike along the 1,150 m long wooden path through all levels of the forest up to the 42 m high viewing tower. From there, enjoy the marvellous panorama over the trees and the Steigerwald Nature Park.

Around 650 metres of the trail run along the observation tower with a maximum gradient of 6%. Experience the forest from a new perspective during the ascent from 26m to 42m. Several information boards provide an insight into the processes of the forest ecosystem.

After the hike, the restaurant on the treetop walk offers snacks and drinks for refreshment. If you like, you can take a few little mementos of an exciting day with you from the store.
