Kletterwald Graz: pictures from the Hilmteich

Jakob Kalas, managing director of Kletterwald Graz, sent us pictures from the park. The entry now shows four of them instead of the neutral drawing – thank you very much!

What the pictures show

In the first picture two children with helmets and harnesses stand on a platform giving a thumbs up. A second shows a climbing tower in the middle of the green forest with someone climbing up. Then there is the course map: it shows the KIDS, FAMILY and high-rope areas, the zip-line route and the Hilmteich pond at the bottom. Finally, the aerial shot shows the Hilmteich in autumn, with colourful trees and the city behind.

Climbing without a car

The park lies in the Leechwald by the Hilmteich and therefore inside the city of Graz. 13 courses with over 100 elements spread over more than a kilometre of climbing; the zip-line course alone has ten zip lines. The High Jump drops into the void from 20 metres.

You pay by the courses you are cleared for: from €14.50 for the two KIDS courses from age four up to €35.50 for all courses including the High Jump. The season runs until early November; the times are in the calendar on the operator's website.

You will find more facilities in the area under Styria.
