Camp Adventure & Skovtårnet

Forest Landmark Rising Above South Zealand

Camp Adventure sits in the rolling countryside outside Rønnede, wrapped by the forests of the Gisselfeld estate. The park’s icon is Skovtårnet, a 45‑meter spiral observation tower built in weathered steel and timber that echoes the trunks around it. From a distance it appears like a sculptural hourglass hovering above the canopy, a contemporary landmark dropped into classic Danish woodland. Instead of stairs, a gently inclined ramp coils around the tower’s inner core. As you rise, the structure’s waist narrows and then opens, framing shifting vistas of treetops, lakes and farmland. At the top platform the landscape unfurls in all directions, with wind turbines on the horizon and, on very clear days, a glimpse of the Great Belt. The design is minimalist yet warm, turning a simple walk upwards into a slow, cinematic reveal of the landscape.

Boardwalk Journey Through the Beech Woods

The experience begins long before you see the view. A broad wooden boardwalk leads from the entrance area through the forest, gradually leaving car parks and buildings behind. The path curves softly around tree trunks and over small rises, designed to protect the forest floor while drawing you deeper into the greenery. Along the way, the scent of beech leaves and resin, bird calls, and shifting light between branches set a calm rhythm. The gradient is gentle, so most visitors can follow it comfortably, and there are occasional wider sections where you can pause, listen and look up into the canopy. The approach makes the tower feel like a natural culmination of a forest walk rather than a standalone monument.

Treetop Adventure Park in the Canopy

Beyond the tower, Camp Adventure is known for its extensive treetop adventure courses. Platforms are fixed high in the trees and linked by rope bridges, swinging logs, nets and high‑speed ziplines. Routes are graded by difficulty and height, from introductory courses for children to more demanding circuits that challenge balance, strength and nerves. Harnesses, helmets and a continuous safety system keep climbers secured as they move from element to element. In the background you hear the clatter of carabiners, bursts of laughter and the whir of people soaring along steel cables between trunks. It is very much an active, hands‑on way to experience the forest, trading a passive viewpoint for time suspended in the canopy itself.

Design, Nature and Sustainability

A key idea behind Camp Adventure is that architecture and activity should sit lightly in the landscape. Skovtårnet’s latticework uses open geometry so wind and light pass through, and the muted materials weather to tones that blend with bark and leaves. The elevated boardwalk and platforms in the trees reduce wear on the forest floor, helping to protect roots and undergrowth. Across the site you notice a consistent use of timber, simple forms and earthy colours. Facilities are tucked into the edge of the woods rather than dominating clearings. While it is a managed park, the mood remains distinctly natural: mossy trunks, fallen branches and birdsong are never far away, even near the more developed areas.

Planning Your Visit and On‑Site Facilities

Camp Adventure is a full‑day outing for many visitors. Between the walk to the tower, time spent on the viewing platforms and hours in the climbing park, it is easy to fill an afternoon. There are open areas with seating where you can rest between activities, and simple food and drink options that focus on quick, casual meals. Picnic spots allow you to bring your own provisions and linger in the forest setting. The terrain on the boardwalk and tower is generally smooth and suitable for a wide range of ages, though the total walking distance can feel long for very young children or anyone unaccustomed to extended walks. Weather shapes the experience: sunny days bring far‑reaching views and warm timber underfoot, while mist and drizzle give the tower an atmospheric, almost cinematic character, with treetops fading into soft grey around the spiral.
