Treetop Walk Bad Wildbad – experience the Black Forest from above
The Treetop Walk leads through the canopy of the Sommerberg among beech, fir and spruce trees. Its highlight is the 40-metre-high lookout tower, offering sweeping panoramic views across the Northern Black Forest.
Step by step through the treetops
The Treetop Walk follows a wooden walkway through the mixed mountain forest of the Sommerberg. At heights of up to 20 metres above the forest floor, it offers unusual perspectives of the trees, forest clearings and the landscape of the Northern Black Forest.
Educational stations along the route provide interesting information about the local natural environment and wildlife. Additional adventure stations invite visitors to test their balance on optional balancing and wobbling elements.
