Local tips

  • Book your climbing slot online in advance, especially in holidays and weekends, to secure a briefing time and benefit from available online discounts.
  • Wear snug sports clothing, closed trainers and bring thin grip gloves; the harness sits better over slim layers and gloves make cables and obstacles more comfortable.
  • If you are unsure about heights, start with the lowest course and gradually step up; you can mix routes during your four hours rather than committing to one track.
  • Plan snacks and water breaks at the base area between courses; frequent short rests keep children and adults energized for the full climbing session.
  • Check the seasonal opening calendar and weather forecast and bring a light rain jacket or extra layer; the forest can feel cooler and damper than open ground.

Forest adventure among the treetops of South Funen

Nestled in gently undulating countryside near Stenstrup, Gorilla Park Svendborg is a treetop rope park built into a mature beech forest. Wooden platforms are bolted high into the trunks, joined by wobbling bridges, swinging logs and zip‑lines that thread through the canopy. Rather than a built‑up amusement park, this is an outdoor playground that uses the natural terrain and tall trees as its backbone, bringing you up close to the forest while you move through it. The setting is part of the story: the park lies within the landscape of the South Funen Archipelago Geopark, a terrain shaped by the end of the Ice Age. From the higher platforms you glimpse fields, manor land around Skjoldemose and, on clear days, islands scattered across the South Funen Sea. It feels both rural and dramatic, with birdsong and wind in the leaves replacing loudspeakers and concrete.

Eight courses from beginner level to King Kong

Gorilla Park’s heart is its network of eight individual obstacle courses, each with its own height and difficulty. The gentlest route sits about 1.5 meters above the ground with easy, close‑spaced elements that help newcomers learn the gear and get used to moving off the forest floor. Course numbers rise together with the challenge, gradually introducing longer gaps, trickier balance sections and higher exposure so you can build confidence step by step. At the upper end, the most demanding tracks reach up to around 26 meters into the canopy. Here you may face long traverses, strength‑sapping obstacles and exposed crossings that test nerve as much as fitness. The legendary King Kong course caps the progression, combining serious height with complex elements for those who really want to push their limits. Across all routes there are more than 100 different features and over 2.7 km of cable and obstacles to explore.

Zip‑lines, Tarzan swings and the Big Swing

Beyond classic rope bridges, the park is known for playful, unusual elements. Some sections let you ride a snowboard or BMX‑style bike between trees, while others have you launching on Tarzan swings into cargo nets or stepping onto free‑hanging logs. A highlight is the zip‑line “forest tour”, where a chain of lines sends you gliding from platform to platform with the forest streaming underneath. Altogether there are around two dozen zip‑lines, including one that stretches roughly 280 meters for a sustained rush of speed and height. For an extra jolt of adrenaline on top of the courses, the Big Swing hoists you about 15 meters into the air before releasing you in a giant arc. It is a simple idea but a memorable moment, often as entertaining to watch from below as it is to ride.

Safety systems and how a visit unfolds

Every visit begins on the ground with a comprehensive safety briefing from trained instructors. You are fitted with a harness and helmet and shown exactly how to use the park’s patented Safe Link SSB carabiner system. This continuous belay setup is designed so that at least one carabiner is always locked onto the safety cable, significantly reducing the chance of user error and allowing you to focus on the obstacles. Time in the park is structured around fixed‑time group briefings, usually on the hour, with a limited number of participants per session to keep instruction clear. Once you have completed the training course and demonstrated the basics, you are free to move independently between routes that match your comfort level within a four‑hour window that includes the briefing. No prior climbing experience is needed, only reasonable mobility and a willingness to be physically active in an outdoor environment.

Café breaks, picnic corners and seasonal rhythm

Between climbs, the base area offers a relaxed contrast to the exertion in the trees. Cafe GO‑rillax serves simple snacks, hot and cold drinks, ice creams and light meals that you can enjoy at outdoor tables or in a picnic area beneath the trees. Fire pits are available by arrangement for groups who want to cook over open flames, adding a camp‑like feel after a few laps among the branches. The park operates seasonally from spring into autumn, aligning its opening days and hours with daylight and weather conditions. The atmosphere changes with the seasons: early in the year the branches are bare and views are wide; high summer brings deep shade and the hum of insects; autumn adds flashes of color underfoot and a cooler, crisp air. Throughout, the focus remains the same: active, shared fun in the forest with the reassurance of structured safety and clear organization.
