Treetop Trail & National Park Centre

The 540-metre-long Hainich treetop trail winds through the treetops of the Hainich National Park near Bad Langensalza. Near Thiemsburg Castle, just 10 kilometers west of Bad Langensalza in Thuringia, you can experience the mysterious habitat of the treetops up close. At a height of up to 24 m, you can stroll through the canopy of the primeval forest and enjoy a fantastic view from the 44 m high tree house. The trail was the second treetop walk in Germany to open in August 2005.

After your trip into the treetops, it’s worth making a detour to the National Park Center. Here you can find out everything you need to know about the Hainich National Park and its impressive biodiversity. A special highlight is the interactive “Root Cave” adventure world, which shows you what is going on under your feet – from mysterious root networks to tiny soil animals that are indispensable for the ecosystem.

The Hainich National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for good reason. Its untouched nature, which was once protected by the inner-German border, is now a valuable habitat for rare animals such as wildcats, bats, gray cranes, badgers and even raccoons.

sehr gute Aussicht. ein wenig kurz

M. F. August 2026

Schöner Ort, Gaststätte etwas zu teuer.nSehr ruhiger Baumwipfelpad, schönes Museum Preise im Shop sind in in Ordnung.nIn meinem Augen nur teils Barrierefrei der Aufzug hätte in den Beton Turm gehört und nicht separat, den so ist ein kompletter Rundgang mit Kinderwagen , Rollstuhl oder Gehilfe nicht möglich das ist schade

Heidi Putsche August 2026
