Baumwipfelpfad Bad Harzburg

Baumwipfelpfad Bad Harzburg is an elevated walkway running 300 meters through the Harz Mountains forest at varying heights above ground. The route features observation platforms and resting spots positioned to showcase the surrounding Lower Saxony countryside.

Construction of this elevated forest pathway started in late 2014 and finished in May 2015. The completion marked an important addition to the region's outdoor recreation infrastructure.

The site serves as a learning center where visitors discover forest ecosystems through informational displays positioned throughout the route. The panels show how the woodland functions and which plants and animals inhabit this environment.

The pathway includes multiple resting areas and observation platforms positioned throughout, making it suitable for families, school groups, and visitors of varying physical abilities. Stations are well-spaced so you can pause regularly and take in your surroundings.

The entrance features a spiral design that gradually rises through the trees, allowing you to experience the forest at different vertical layers. This gradual ascent creates a distinctive feeling of height that sets it apart from the flatter sections of the route.
