Black Forest Zipline Adventure

Imagine rushing through the air at breathtaking speed; the forest floor shrinks beneath you and the trees look like stars from above.  As the air streams by, your heart starts pumping pure adrenaline through your veins.  Your daily routine has been blown away and replaced with a mixture of pure joy and ultimate freedom.  This is how ziplining feels.  Well, not exactly – it feels better!

Join Outdoor Recreation as we head deep into the Black Forest for a Zipline Adventure.  The zipline course consists of seven ziplines totaling over 1,600 meters.  Each zipline has an identity all its own.  From the gentle, relaxed glide of the Kimmigberg, to the ultimate, white-knuckle flight of the Gründle, the longest nature zipline in Germany.  Ziplines range in length from 17 – 570 meters and vary between 9 and 83 meters above the valley floor.  Ziplines are connected via picturesque paths and platforms that are purposely blended with natural environment.  The zipline course will lead you over steep rocky slopes, valleys, hills, and creeks.  At the end, the short walk back to the starting point will give you a bit of time to mentally sort through the experiences of the day.

Restrictions apply.  Patrons must be at least 10 years old to participate.  Weight restrictions require participants be between 40 and 115 KG (88 – 253 LBS).  Average physical constitution required and those with extreme medical conditions (to include pregnancy) should not participate.
