Forest world Skywalk Allgäu

Skywalk Naturerlebnispark Allgäu (skywalk allgäu gemeinnützigen GmbH)

Skywalk allgäu non-profit GmbH

The high trail at skywalk allgäu is anything but ordinary. It is 540 meters long and consists of a technically unique suspension bridge construction. It is supported by individual steel poles that are anchored in the ground parallel to the trees. The paths connecting them are free-floating. The entire treetop path is therefore permanently in motion - just as trees are. But don't worry, of course our treetop trail is subject to constant inspection and meets the highest safety standards.

For the most part, the high-altitude trail runs around 25 meters above the forest floor. The highest point is the top floor of the observation tower. Here you are even at a height of 40 meters. The panorama platform can be reached via a staircase or a glass elevator located in the observation tower. Thus, the main attraction of the skywalk allgäu can be used by all generations. Ideal for a wonderful family outing in the Allgäu!
