Treetop path Saarschleife, Canopy walkway near Orscholz, Germany.
The elevated wooden pathway stretches 1,250 meters through the mixed deciduous forest of Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park at heights reaching 23 meters above ground level.
The 4.7 million Euro treetop path project opened in July 2016 and attracted 25,000 visitors within its first three weeks of operation.
Four educational stations along the path provide information about regional features including quartzite formations, beech forests, river geology, and forest ecosystems.
The path maintains a maximum gradient of 6 percent without steps, making it accessible for wheelchairs and strollers throughout its entire length.
The 42-meter observation tower at the endpoint mirrors the shape of the Saar River bend, offering panoramic views extending to the Vosges Mountains on clear days.
