The afternoon opens beneath high-branched oaks and chestnuts where a rope team clips in and the wood exhales around you. You’ll clip a harness, feel the give of a lifeline, and step up onto a platform where the forest seems to watch — the trees dare you forward and the wind nudges you along.

Wear closed-toe, treaded shoes
Sturdy hiking or approach shoes give grip on wooden platforms and the 9m wall; leave sandals at home.
Hydrate before you start
Bring a full 500–1000 ml water bottle—there’s little shade between activity stations and you’ll be working hard.
Tell guides about previous injuries
Disclose back, neck or heart issues at booking so staff can adapt or advise against participation.
Book morning or late-afternoon slots
Avoid midday heat and stronger winds; light is nicer for photos and the forest stays cooler earlier and later in the day.
Sturdy hiking or approach shoes
Provide traction on platforms, rock and forest floor.
Light gloves (optional)
Protect hands during rope work and tree sections—useful if you have sensitive skin.
