Filigree architecture. Environmentally-friendly construction. Elevated over the ground.
The main attraction is an architectural gem. Built in an environmentally-friendly manner, the barrier-free Treetop Walkway, which is mostly a timber construction, offers visitors a unique experience of the local forest. The walkway winds its way through the site at almost the same level, as the forest floor itself is on the incline.
The entire walkway is secured by a steel balustrade, chain-link fencing and wooden handrails on both sides. The clever route chosen through the forest opens up numerous views of the enchanting panoramic landscape of the Neckertal.

Filigree
Due to the special statics, the focus was on a filigree construction. The Treetop Walkway is a curved post-and-beam timber construction. The impact of the construction work was kept to a minimum. Both the entrance and exit of the walkway are located in the immediate vicinity of the existing log cabin.
Environmentally friendly
The elements are predominantly made of timber. Extra steel supports had to be added to the steep sections for structural reasons. The anchoring in the ground is done with Krinner screw foundations and individual concrete foundations.
High
Standing at an impressive height, the walkway is an invitation to explore. All in all, it blends into the landscape perfectly. The visitor is led to discover areas they would ordinarily hardly notice.
