THE SCALE

A treetop network of hundreds of elements

The park lays out up to 287 elements across courses that range from low, toddler circuits to high, expert challenges—making it a full‑day treetop playground for mixed‑ability groups.

THE ACCESS

Easy to reach, built for groups

Located directly at the Rutesheim A8 autobahn exit, the park’s position and range of courses make it a practical destination for families, schools, clubs and corporate groups.

THE FAMILY STRUCTURE

Courses by age and ability

Layouts are tiered: toddler circuits at ankle height, progressively taller and more technical courses from age four upward, and full high‑challenge routes for teens and adults—so families can pick appropriate lines together.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You arrive to a forested grid of platforms and lines; once briefed, families disperse across circuits matched to age and height while others push toward high, technical routes—the operator offers courses that scale from 0.5 m up to 14 m in height and a full range of difficulties so groups can mix easy and demanding experiences with essentially unlimited climbing time.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this offering fits—and who should reconsider.

1
Active familiesIdeal for families traveling together: family tickets start from groups of three, and the park provides circuits suited to toddlers through teens so mixed ages can share a day outdoors.
2
Parents and guardiansCaregivers should note accompaniment rules: an adult must be present at the toddler circuit (need not climb), children aged 4–9 require an accompanying adult who climbs, and the supervision ratio is one adult per up to three children under 10.
3
School and club groupsStructured group visits work well because the park’s size and variety of courses accommodate multiple ability levels; organizers should observe the park’s adult:child supervision ratios when booking.
4
Experienced teens and adultsChallenging high‑rope lines and the black course’s 14 m jump reward stronger climbers—participants must meet minimum height thresholds for the higher circuits.
