Step into a world above the trees and experience nature from a whole new perspective at the Sommerberg Treetop Walk in Bad Wildbad. Located in the heart of the Nature Park Schwarzwald Mitte/Nord, this elevated trail offers an unforgettable journey through the mixed mountain forest, leading you to the highlight of your adventure: a breathtaking 40-meter-high lookout tower.
The Treetop Walk spans 1,250 meters, rising up to 20 meters above the forest floor. As you wander through the beech, fir, and spruce trees, you’ll encounter interactive learning stations that provide insights into the diverse flora and fauna of the Black Forest. Children and adults alike can engage in fun activities such as balancing elements and solving nature-themed riddles with the help of the friendly squirrel mascot.
Reaching the top of the lookout tower is an achievement in itself, thanks to its accessible spiral pathway with a gentle 6% gradient. From the summit, you'll be rewarded with sweeping views of the Black Forest, and on clear days, you may even spot the Kraichgau region, the Stuttgart TV tower, or the distant Swabian Jura.
For those seeking a thrill, the 55-meter-long tunnel slide offers an exhilarating descent from the tower’s 25-meter-high platform. Simply grab a provided sliding mat and experience the joy of gliding down this unique attraction. Please note that the slide may be closed in adverse weather conditions.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful nature walk, an educational experience, or an adrenaline-filled adventure, the Sommerberg Treetop Walk promises a memorable day out for visitors of all ages.
