Located in Bad Wildbad, this elevated walkway provides visitors with a unique opportunity to experience the Black Forest from a fresh perspective, high among the treetops. Opened in 2014, the Baumwipfelpfad stretches for 1.2 kilometers, gently winding its way through a mixed forest of beech, fir, and spruce trees. The path rises gradually, reaching heights of up to 20 meters above the forest floor, providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The walkway is carefully designed to be accessible to all, with a maximum gradient of 6% and regular rest areas, making it suitable for wheelchairs, strollers, and visitors of all ages and abilities.

These educational exhibits are designed to engage visitors of all ages, making the Baumwipfelpfad a valuable learning experience as well as a fun day out. One of the highlights of the Baumwipfelpfad is the 40-meter-high observation tower, which offers a spectacular 360-degree panorama of the Black Forest. From the top of the tower, visitors can gaze out over the endless forests and impressive valleys, taking in the breathtaking beauty of the region. On a clear day, it is even possible to see as far as the Stuttgart TV tower, the Kraichgau region, and the Swabian Alb. For those seeking a bit of adventure, the tower also features a thrilling 55-meter tunnel slide. Starting from a platform 25 meters above the ground, the slide spirals down through the center of the tower, providing an exhilarating descent for both young and old. The slide offers a unique and exciting way to return to ground level, adding an extra element of fun to the Baumwipfelpfad experience. The Baumwipfelpfad is located on the Sommerberg, a mountain overlooking Bad Wildbad. The Sommerberg is also home to several other attractions, including the Adventure Forest, a large adventure playground with 25 play and learning stations, and the WILDLINE suspension bridge, a thrilling structure that spans a valley and offers spectacular views. Visitors can easily spend a full day exploring all that the Sommerberg has to offer. To reach the Baumwipfelpfad, many visitors take the Sommerbergbahn, a funicular railway that connects the town of Bad Wildbad with the Sommerberg. The Sommerbergbahn has been in operation for over 100 years and is an attraction in itself, offering stunning views of the town and the surrounding forest. The valley station of the Sommerbergbahn is located in the center of Bad Wildbad, making it easily accessible by public transport or car. The Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald is open year-round, with varying opening hours depending on the season. The trail is cleared of snow in winter, making it accessible even in snowy conditions. However, the trail may be closed in the event of thunderstorms, hail, storms, or ice for safety reasons. It is always recommended to check the website or social media channels for the latest information before visiting. In addition to the Baumwipfelpfad itself, the surrounding area of Bad Wildbad offers a wealth of opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration. The Black Forest is a paradise for hikers and cyclists, with numerous trails winding through the forests and valleys. Visitors can also explore the charming towns and villages of the region, sample the local cuisine, and experience the rich culture and history of the Black Forest. The Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald is more than just a tourist attraction; it is a place where visitors can connect with nature, learn about the environment, and experience the beauty of the Black Forest in a unique and memorable way. Whether you are a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply looking for a fun day out with the family, the Baumwipfelpfad is sure to delight and inspire. The Treetop Walk is designed to be accessible for everyone. The path is step-free and has a gentle incline, making it easy for visitors with wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers to navigate. There are also rest areas along the path where visitors can take a break. Wheelchairs and walkers can be rented free of charge, but it is recommended to book in advance. Four parking spaces for people with disabilities are available near the Auerhahn Restaurant, with low-barrier access to the Treetop Walk. At the end of the Treetop Walk, visitors can explore the Fairy-tale path. It is 5 km long and tells the story of St. Michel. There are 10 stations with radio plays and information boards inviting you to join in - even in several languages thanks to a web application. The WILDLINE awaits brave visitors at the end of the Fairy-tale Path. The suspension bridge is not recommended for those suffering from vertigo, especially since you can't see the end of the bridge. Here, too, there is a fantastic view of the valley of the Enz and the Black Forest. Right next door to the tree top walk is the Adventure Forest. This 8,000-square-meter adventure playground has 25 play and learning stations. It's not just for the little ones - it's fun for the whole family.
