They are using a safety system that leaves you unbuckled at the moment you switch ropes. It means sometimes at the top platforms you are not safe for a few seconds and may fell if someone pushes you. This is unacceptable, especially for kids. They show one system on the advertisement photos but use a different one. As they use a sliding carabineer/buckle system there is just one, not two like when climbing via ferrata. However sometimes there is a break in rope, so for a moment you are UNBUCKLED. In the ads they show a system used for instance in Switzerland where one carabineer is always closed. Maybe they had more people and didn't have enough of the one from the photos, anyway it is unacceptable. NOT RECOMMENDED. Apart from that it would have been a nice park. ANSWER TO OWNERS RESPONSE: unfortunately is true, what happened exactly was all the kids were using harnesses with one carabineer only, which was fine for lower levels, level 6 was open for kids and adults, and here was the problem. Kids were using a system with one carabineer that was not passing through connections and THEY HAD to unbuckle to go further! All the kids that were allowed by your staff to use level 6. And adults were fine as they used a via ferrata system with two carabineers. So the issue was on the level 6. I don't know who made a mistake, you will design, procedures mistake or staff mistake onsite, but that what happened and you should be happy that no one was injured. Instead of arguing I recommend you check your procedures. Cause if something ever happens and people find this comment section it will be used as a proof of negligence....
Read moreThe adventure park is located somewhat inconspicuously behind a hedge in the forest. The focus is on secured climbing in several courses with different levels of difficulty. We were there with #Bigfoot and #Littlefeet on a beautiful April day. We parked the car further below the adventure park to avoid parking fees.
The service was great: first you get your helmet after paying (birthday children get a golden one), then your harness (which you have to tighten again and again in between because it gradually loosens a bit due to the climbing.
You can have your valuables locked up at the cash desk. The prices are ok. In addition to the equipment, this also includes a video briefing and support from the Rothelme, who check and monitor the courses.
We climbed green twice and yellow once and had a total of three hours. Especially with children and adults who rarely climb, you should allow more time.
The toilets were clean, as was the whole area, despite the large number of customers
Here are a few impressions. I don't have any pictures or videos of the climbing itself because I wanted to concentrate on the climbing.
Til;dr: this is a really great place for children aged 7-8 and up to climb. #Bigfoot and #Littlefeet were full of praise and would love to come back.
Clothing: Jeans, sports shoes and a T-shirt are fine in...
Read moreSo impressed! This place is amazing. The engineering of the high ropes courses is so well thought out. We have nothing like this back home in Texas. The set up is pretty self explanatory after the initial instruction and each course is a different puzzle you get to go through completely on your own without a guide. We came with 3 adults, our 14-year-old and 8-year-old and all of us had a blast. The staff was attentive, personable and friendly. We enjoyed ice cream, snacks and beer from their little bistro after our climb!
We were pleased to see the high ropes courses are well kept and maintained. My brother has a background in professional rock climbing and climbed these courses with us. We all felt safe with their sophisticated safety/harness system. We have been bicycling around the Bodensee for our vacation and this was one of our main highlights. We would come back to the Bodensee just to visit this...
