Forest ropes course

Climbing heights

The forest ropes course, which is the size of a football pitch, is located right next to the mountain station at the summit of the Hirschenkogel at 1,350 metres. The climbing garden is divided into different levels on 6 courses and offers fun for all climbing enthusiasts. The higher a level is, the more difficult and longer the climbing courses are. It takes about 3 hours to climb and explore the various courses. The courses do not have to be completed in order, but can be freely chosen and climbed several times.

The forest ropes course is the perfect location for children’s birthday parties, team-building events, company and school outings. Various combination packages (e.g. with ascent and/or descent, mountain carts, Millennium Jump) are available and can be put together individually.

(The use of the forest ropes course is prohibited for children under the age of 6)
