Adventure Park Lichtenstein

Climbing at Lichtenstein Castle: high ropes course on the Swabian Jura

Right next to the fairytale Lichtenstein Castle on the Swabian Jura, Adventure Park Lichtenstein offers an adventure high up in the treetops. Across 11 courses with more than 200 elements, you climb at heights of 3 to 18 metres over net bridges, wobbly planks and swinging ropes. From an easy introduction to tricky pro routes, everyone from beginners to ambitious climbing fans will find the right challenge here. The park is located in the middle of the forest near Lichtenstein, just a few kilometres from Reutlingen.

From the Schloss-Schenke course to the pro tour at 18 metres high

At Adventure Park Lichtenstein, the first four courses, such as Schloss-Schenke or Pagenweg, start from age 8, and in exceptional cases from age 6 by arrangement. As the difficulty increases, you move on to Ritterschlag from age 10, Husarenritt from age 12, and up to the challenging courses from age 16 and the highest course from age 18. More important than age are height, courage and fitness. Before you start, you’ll be provided with a helmet, climbing harness and safety carabiners, and you’ll complete a briefing at the practice station. Children under 12 climb with supervision; one adult can supervise a maximum of two children.

For refreshments, the nearby Schloss-Schenke and the Restaurant Altes Forsthaus are a great choice. Opposite Adventure Park Lichtenstein there is also a public barbecue area with a children’s playground and a small football pitch; as climbing guests, you get the firewood free of charge. Special experiences include the birthday treasure hunt around King Wilhelm of Württemberg and night climbing on selected dates. With fewer than 10 people, you can simply drop by during opening hours; for 10 or more, registration by email is required. At weekends or when the weather is uncertain, it’s worth giving them a quick call beforehand.
