Climbing

We recommend booking your climbing tour in advance. Weekends and summer days in July and August are especially popular and fill up quickly. The sooner you book, the better. If you only want to visit the climbing tower, you don’t need to reserve in advance and can get a ticket at the Water AREA ticket counter.

In the case of a last-minute cancellation, we must adhere to our terms and conditions, and therefore cancellation fees will apply. However, if there are still enough available spots, adding participants is definitely possible.

No, don’t worry. There is a separate access path on the other side of the bridge. However, all participants must cross a narrow, suspended walkway to reach the starting point.
