Baumwipfelpfad Bavarian Forest: Walk Among the Treetops
Experience the Bavarian Forest National Park from a breathtaking perspective on the Baumwipfelpfad, a unique treetop walkway offering panoramic views and insights into the forest ecosystem.
The Baumwipfelpfad Bavarian Forest offers a unique perspective on the natural beauty of the Bavarian Forest National Park. This 1,300-meter-long treetop walk elevates visitors up to 25 meters above the forest floor, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the Bavarian Alps. Interactive exhibits along the path offer insights into the local ecosystem, making it an educational and enjoyable experience for all ages. The highlight is the 44-meter-high observation tower, accessible by elevator, which rewards visitors with panoramic views stretching across the forest and, on clear days, as far as the Alps. With its accessible design, the Baumwipfelpfad welcomes families, nature enthusiasts, and those seeking a tranquil escape into the heart of the forest.
