Three high levels with continuous belay
The Hochseilgarten stretches across three heights (2 m, 6 m and 10 m) with 33 climbing elements in two difficulty grades and a through‑belay system so participants can run the course without intermediate switching of safety lines.
A low-ropes world rebuilt for mixed ages
The Niederseilgarten, rebuilt in spring 2026 to DIN EN 1176, contains about 26 balance and climbing exercises at a fall height of roughly 1–1.5 meters, including two zip lines — one around 40 meters — that let smaller adventurers move freely without harnesses.
Guided, equipped, supervised
All climbers use complete safety equipment and are supervised by the park’s trained safety instructors throughout the activity, with continuous rope systems on the high course and no additional harness systems required on the low course due to its limited fall heights.
