GoMonkey Kolding is a forest high-ropes and zipline park set in the green valley of Hylkedal on the edge of Kolding. Courses of varying difficulty wind through the treetops from a few metres above the ground up to around 20 metres, linked by nets, wobbly bridges and long ziplines.

Local tips
- Book your climbing slot in advance during the March–September season, especially on weekends and holidays, as numbers per time slot are limited.
- Wear snug, weather-appropriate clothing and closed athletic shoes; avoid loose scarves or large jewellery that could snag in the safety gear.
- Check age and height requirements for each course before you go if you are bringing younger children, so they know in advance which routes they can try.
- Bring water and light snacks or a picnic to enjoy in the clearings between runs; rubbish should be packed out or placed in bins to protect the valley environment.
- If you are nervous about heights, start with a low-level course to get used to the harness system and balance before attempting the higher routes and ziplines.

Getting There
-
Car from central Kolding
From central Kolding, driving to Hylkedal typically takes around 10–15 minutes depending on traffic. There is free public parking near Hylkedalvej and Hylkevænget, from where you can walk into the valley to reach the climbing park. No entrance fee is charged for simply entering Hylkedal, but separate tickets are required for climbing, which usually cost in the range of 200–300 DKK per person for a session, varying by age and product type.
-
Local bus within Kolding
Local city buses connect residential areas and the centre of Kolding with stops within walking distance of Hylkedal; travel time is typically 15–25 minutes depending on route and departure time. A single adult ticket on the local network usually costs around 20–30 DKK, with discounts for children and travel cards. Services run more frequently on weekdays and daytime hours, with reduced frequency in late evenings and on some weekends.
-
Taxi from Kolding Station
A taxi ride from Kolding Station to the Hylkedal area generally takes about 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic and exact drop-off point. Fares for such a short city journey are commonly in the range of 120–180 DKK, with supplements in late evening or on public holidays. Taxis can drop you near the valley entrances, but they cannot drive directly into the forested park area itself.
-
Bicycle from city districts
Kolding is compact and has a network of cycle-friendly streets, making it realistic to reach Hylkedal by bike from many neighbourhoods in around 15–30 minutes. Terrain can include some hills approaching the valley, and surfaces vary from asphalt to gravel near the green area. There is no charge to bring your own bicycle, but you should bring a lock and be prepared for basic, informal parking rather than guarded bike facilities.

Tree‑top adventure in the Hylkedal valley
GoMonkey Kolding hides in the leafy Hylkedal, a wide green valley just outside central Kolding where steep slopes, tall trees and a small stream create a surprisingly wild feeling landscape. Here the climbing park stretches between trunks and across the valley sides, with platforms fastened around sturdy trees and steel cables tracing lines through the canopy. The setting feels more like a forest excursion than a conventional theme park, with birdsong, rustling leaves and earthy smells all around. From the open ground you can watch participants move above you at different heights, their helmets and harnesses sometimes silhouetted against the sky. Because the area is not fully fenced off, it is possible to stroll along the paths and observe the courses even if you are not climbing. Wooden shelters, simple seating and clearings under the trees provide spots to wait, cheer or simply enjoy the quiet valley atmosphere while others tackle the obstacles overhead.Courses for different ages and confidence levels
The park is designed to work for a remarkably broad age range, from younger school‑age children to active grandparents. Routes are colour‑graded into four main difficulty levels, starting with low introductory lines just a few metres above the ground and rising to more demanding challenges higher in the trees. This makes it easy for mixed groups to choose something that suits both the cautious and the fearless without splitting up entirely. Obstacles vary from suspended wooden steps and swinging logs to net tunnels, rope bridges and narrow beams that require balance and concentration. Safety lines and harness systems keep everyone securely attached while they move from element to element. Instructors provide a briefing at ground level, explaining how the safety system works and how to move the carabiners correctly so that even first‑time climbers can feel in control once they leave the platform.Long ziplines and high‑level thrills
One of the highlights in Kolding is the series of long ziplines that cut across the valley, some stretching more than 150 metres through open air between the trees. Once you step off the platform you accelerate quickly, the wind rushing in your face as the forest floor blurs below. For many visitors this combination of height, speed and views is the moment they remember most vividly from the day. Higher, more advanced routes reach up towards 20 metres in the treetops. Here the elements are deliberately more demanding, with bigger gaps between footholds and features that sway noticeably as you cross them. These lines suit older children, teenagers and adults who want to push their comfort zones, while lower circuits remain available for those who prefer a gentler experience. Because courses loop back into the same base area, groups can reconnect easily after choosing different levels.Facilities, seasons and practical details
GoMonkey Kolding operates as a seasonal outdoor park, typically open from early spring through the end of September, aligning with lighter days and milder weather. Within those months opening hours vary across the week, with longer days in peak summer and shorter sessions outside school holidays. Advance booking for climbing sessions is strongly recommended, especially for larger groups or weekend visits. On site you find basic facilities geared towards a half‑day stay: check‑in and safety briefing areas, simple picnic spots and access to nearby parking areas at the edge of Hylkedal. Many guests bring their own snacks and drinks to enjoy between circuits, using the natural clearings as informal picnic spaces. The park is run by trained staff who supervise the system from key points on the ground, ready to assist if someone needs help or advice partway round a route.Part of a wider outdoor playground
The climbing park is only one element of activity within Hylkedal. Around it, walking paths traverse the valley, small viewpoints open over the surrounding countryside and mountain‑bike trails thread through the trees. This makes GoMonkey Kolding an easy focal point within a broader day outdoors, especially for families or groups wanting to mix high‑energy adventure with quieter exploration. Because the area remains essentially a public green space, the mood can shift through the day: calm and almost meditative in the early morning, more animated when groups arrive to climb, and peaceful again as closing time approaches. Whether you come solely to tackle the treetop routes or to combine them with a longer walk in the valley, GoMonkey Kolding offers an accessible way to experience a different perspective on the Danish landscape—quite literally seeing it from above.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
