The programme ranges from the treetop walk to the “Fly-Line” forest roller coaster. If you are looking for more exercise, head next door into the Kletterwald Ossiacher See.

While the children romp about on the woodland playground, visit the animals in the petting zoo or whizz down the slope on the Fly-Line, parents and grandparents sit on the sun terrace and look out over the lake. Another practical point is the location right on the Ossiacher-See-Radweg. ## Highlights at a glance - Treetop walk with suspension bridges and platforms up in the crowns of the trees - “Fly-Line” forest roller coaster, Austria’s first of its kind, suitable from 2 years - Adventure trail with interactive play stations, a Viking ship and forest bathing - Petting zoo, magician and face painting at peak times - Sun terrace with a view of the Ossiacher See and a kiosk for snacks ## Our insider tip You do not need a reservation, tickets are available on site.
