Black Forest Zipline Adventure

Get your heart racing and your spirit soaring through the Black Forest!

#

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.  This course consists of 5 spectacular ziplines across forest valleys, including Germany's longest natural zipline.  Reach speeds of up to 60 km/h on ziplines that range in length from 17 – 570 meters and vary between 9 and 83 meters above the valley floor. The courses give you panoramic views of the Black Forest and are connected by scenic hiking trails.  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.

Participants should wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes (sneakers and ankle-high boots are best – NO sandals or heeled shoes) and comfortable and weather appropriate clothing that is not too loose. Participants should bring a change of clothes in case of rain, mosquito repellent/bug spray, sunscreen, and bottled water (no glass containers).  You are also allowed to bring along a small daypack if you would like to take personal items with you. The use of attached cameras (i.e., GoPros) is welcome, but helmets with mounts are limited.
