Kletterwald Marburg
Marburg · Hessen · from age 4
Thirteen courses in an old oak forest near Marburg, from a children's course at 1.2 metres to the Mount Everest course at 17 metres. Companions who do not climb pay nothing.
What makes Kletterwald Marburg special
The site lies at the edge of an old oak forest by the Dammühle north of Marburg. The operator points to reviews that regularly rank it among the finest in Germany.
Thirteen courses run from practice and children's rounds at 1.2 metres to the Mount Everest course, which climbs into the canopy at 17 metres.
Three and a half hours of climbing time come with the ticket, including a 20-minute briefing. That is more than the usual three hours.
The supervision rule is finely graded and makes a practical difference: from six to nine an adult must go up too, but supervises three children. For ten- and eleven-year-olds supervision from the ground is enough — and then one person may watch up to six children. For birthday parties and groups that adds up.
Companions who do not climb are free and need not be booked.
