The Action Forest climbing forest at the Titisee
Nine courses on the Hirschbühl above the Titisee, tickets from 22 to 32 €, climbing from 1.10 m. What the Action Forest climbing forest in the Black Forest offers, what it costs and what to sort out before you go.
The Action Forest climbing forest sits on the Hirschbühl above the Titisee, in Titisee-Neustadt in the Hochschwarzwald. It belongs to the Action Forest Hotel but is open without staying there - and at 32 € for adults it is one of the pricier climbing forests in Baden-Württemberg. Here is what that buys.
Nine courses, two of them for practice
The operator splits the site into three groups: two practice courses, five climbing courses and two zip-line courses. The practice courses are not an extra - they are part of the routine before the real routes begin.
Courses are graded by colour. Three of them are open to children up to 1.29 m: light green, light blue and dark green.
The black course is gone. A storm damaged it over the winter badly enough that it had to be removed - the operator says so itself. Anyone who knows the site from before, or is going by older write-ups, should not go looking for it.
The grounds also carry zip lines; the longest starts eleven metres up.
What a visit costs
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Adults | 32.- € |
| Young people (1.30 m to 17 years) | 27.- € |
| Children (1.10 m to 1.29 m) | 22.- € |
Admission runs for three hours. School and university students of full age with ID, and booked groups of 20 or more, get 2 € off.
School classes have their own rates, Monday to Friday outside the holidays: 16 € for years 4 to 6, 18 € for 7 to 10, 20 € for 11 to 13 and 22 € for vocational schools.
From what height, from what age?
The line is height, not age: from 1.10 m you may climb, on three courses. From 1.30 m every route is open.
On age the operator draws a second line: up to and including nine, an adult has to climb along - climb, not watch. One adult may accompany at most two children, so arriving with three means a second adult who puts on a harness and pays full admission. From ten, children may climb alone.
That two-children rule is common but not universal; how other facilities handle it is in Climbing park with children: from what age?.
How a visit runs
Equipment is handed out at the log cabin. From there the "Action Forest path" leads to the safety briefing: handling the gear is explained by video, after which you try it on the practice course under a trainer's eye. Only then do the real routes begin.
Trainers stay in the park throughout. They also judge which routes suit which climber - useful when you do not know the site and would rather not spend the three hours on the wrong route.
What to sort out before setting off
Closed shoes are compulsory. Sandals, flip-flops and ballet flats are turned away - this is a condition, not a suggestion. The operator is equally plain about the rest: strappy tops and crop tops are unwelcome, trousers should be long enough that the harness does not sit on skin, and dresses or skirts are not suitable for climbing.
Nothing works without a ticket. Available times are in the operator's booking calendar, and that applies expressly to guests holding the Hochschwarzwald Card too. Walk-in visits cannot be served; you are asked to be there 15 minutes before your booked slot.
The season starts on 1 May. The operator does not publish day-by-day opening times as a list, only inside the booking calendar - which is why this facility carries no season in the directory. For groups of 20 or more the park opens outside regular hours, but not outside the season.
In storm, thunder or heavy rain the park closes at once. That is true of every climbing forest - light rain, on the other hand, is usually no reason to close.
What else is on the grounds
The climbing forest is only part of the operation. Action Forest also runs a laser base, SUP hire, ExplorGames, a ball track, a bouncy castle and RC adventures, plus the hotel with stays including the Badeparadies Schwarzwald. Anyone who has to allow for a rainy day has more fallbacks here than at a climbing-only site.
Climbing forests nearby
The Hochschwarzwald is well served, but the nearest sites are not around the corner:
- Kletterwald Staufen - about 30 km, adults 30 €
- Waldseilgarten Freiburg - about 30 km
- Erlebniskletterwald Lörrach - about 49 km, adults 27 €
Every facility in the state is listed under High ropes courses in Baden-Württemberg.
Prices and rules come from the operator's own pages, checked in August 2026. What the operator publishes at the time of your visit is what counts.
