We had a lot of fun at the Wildline and here is what we found out…read more The cable car to get to the top is fun! If you want to go over the hanging bridge, it is extra! If you want to include this, buy the ticket upfront. I was terrified to take the slide down the spiral lookout tower and screamed the whole way down. I love/hated it. The view at the top is spectacular! This is a great place for adults and children. The food and the gifts in the shop were all reasonably priced. Just FYI, the German husband loved the apfel kuchen here. We did go over the Hanging Bridge. It was a windy day and my adrenaline had been activated by the slide so going across this was very hard for me. We hiked back instead of taking the bridge back which was hard because there is no clear way to do this. We had to hike over rocks and tall grass to find a trail that went back to the park. We really enjoyed the scenery here and the creative use of outdoor land to educate and entertain.

We're here today, 30.09.2022. we are all in our 60's and we went on the tree line suspension bridge…read morewhich had testing your fears, challenges, and balance. The tree lined bridge, 7Euros per, swung a little bit while walking but wasn't scary. I did most of the challenges, though the last got me. The steps were connected by chains and ropes but it swung too much for me to handle. ( i didn't complete it). Fear factor: 4 out of 5. The next location was the spiral pathway that climbed up to 30 meters that overlooked the black forest and nearby towns. The climb up the spiral pathway was about 20 minutes but taking the sit down ride for 2 Euro, the enclosed tunnel was quick. Fear factor: 2. It was a blast. We're at the suspension bridge but for me the cost of plucking down 9.50 E per person was costly and i decided not to go. My wife and sister in law went. Took about 30 m. No wind for that day and they return within 30 minutes. There was another place to have fun was a huge trampoline mostly for small kids. We decided not to go as it was costly area, 9.5 E per person. Overall we loved the place. Would go back, next year.

This is by far the most stereotypically Black Forrest thing in Germany. Imagine the Brothers Grimm,…read morefairy tales, and enchanted forests. What just came to mind was this hike. Moss covered rocks, cascading streams, dark forests, tall pine trees-this place has it all! The hike is not difficult at all, but is jam packed with beautiful views. You start the hike from the valley and hike up to the top of the ridge, taking about 1.5 hours. Get there EARLY! This is a very popular hiking spot and it gets crowded fast.
