Bad Harzburg treetop walk

The treetop trail in Bad Harzburg stretches over 1,000 meters through the canopy of the Kalten Tal valley. Up to 26 meters above the forest floor, you’ll hike among the treetops and experience the forest from a completely new perspective.

Highlights of the trail

• Viewing platforms up to 26 meters high with panoramic views of the Harz Mountains

• A glass walkway for those with a head for heights—the transparent floor offers a view into the depths

• Geology wall offering insights into 300 million years of Earth’s history

• Interactive experience stations along the trail—especially exciting for children

Burgberg Cable Car

The combination of the Burgberg Cable Car and the treetop trail makes for the perfect outing. First, take the cable car up to Burgberg, then hike back down to the valley via the treetop trail. The cable car ride itself offers impressive views.

For Families

The treetop trail is accessible and stroller-friendly—ideal for families with young children. The interactive stations keep kids entertained, and the glass walkway is sure to make children’s eyes light up (and sometimes make parents a little nervous). Plan on 1–2 hours for the entire loop.

Directions

Bad Harzburg is about 40 km from the Lindnerhof (approx. 45 minutes by car). Parking is available at the valley station of the Burgberg cable car.
