Climbing in the Bienwald: Fun Forest Kandel climbing park

In the heart of the beautiful Kandeler Bienwald forest in the Southern Palatinate, the region’s largest climbing park awaits you: Kletterpark Kandel. Spread across around 7 hectares, more than 200 trees are linked by about 17,000 meters of steel cable to form 23 exciting high ropes courses. Since opening in 2006, you’ve been climbing from tree to tree here—whether you’re visiting as a family, with friends, with your company, or with a club. Kandel is conveniently located on the A65 between Landau and Karlsruhe. From Kandel train station, it’s only about a 15-minute walk.

From kids’ courses to a 22-meter freefall

There’s something for every age and ability. The youngest adventurers can start from age 3 on four low kids’ courses, with an adult accompanying them from the ground. From age 7 and with a reach height of 1.60 m, you can take on the many practice and standard courses, ranging from easy white and green routes to challenging sections. If you want even more, try the pro courses—such as the black course or the legendary Tarzan swing—and, to top it all off, take the Quickjump “Freefall” from up to 22 meters down into the depths.

You can refuel at the on-site food and drink area with snacks and beverages, and you’re welcome to eat your own food on the sun terrace. There’s plenty of parking right on site, with additional overflow parking at the Bienwaldhalle. Your four-legged friends are also welcome on a leash. Please remember: climbing is only allowed with sturdy, closed-toe shoes! The maximum permitted weight is 120 kg, and there are no lockers on site—so it’s best to leave at home anything you don’t really need. As climbing is only possible with advance booking, it’s best to secure your tickets in advance in the online shop.
