The Waldkirch treetop walk takes you into the fascinating world of the treetops of the Black Forest. Observe the flora and fauna of the species-rich treetops up close and enjoy breathtaking views of the Rhine Valley with the Kaiserstuhl and the Vosges mountains. The Waldkirch treetop walk is 200 m long and is located in the Waldkirch Nature Discovery Park. There you will also find the Stadtrainsee lake and the Black Forest Zoo. A visit to the Waldkirch treetop walk can therefore be easily combined into an all-day excursion for the whole family.
There is also a 190 m long barefoot trail in the immediate vicinity of the Waldkirch treetop walk. Walk without shoes and socks over pine cones, wood, stones and moss and experience new sensory impressions.
Right next door, the 220m-long adventure trail with suspension bridges, climbing nets and wobbly bridges offers a challenge for your sense of balance and agility.
Brave adventurers aged 8 and over can use the longest tube slide in Europe (190 m long) for part of the way back (price: €2). The Bambini adventure trail is relatively new. A safe, playful adventure trail especially for little explorers aged 3 to 6!

Leuk uitje met kinderen. Wandelroute best pittige klim, maar onderweg telkens leuke opdrachtjes of ontdekkingen voor de kids. Bovenaan een leuk speelpark en een leuke klimroute met touwbruggen. Prachtig uitzicht. Vanaf 10jaar mag je met een matjesglijbaan naar beneden, langste glijbaan uit de omgeving. Leuk voor tieners!
A very beautiful park in Blackforest! I really liked the different sensory experiences here.
