Baumwipfelpfad Steigerwald

Baumwipfelpfad Steigerwald, Forest canopy walkway in the Steigerwald, Bavaria, Germany

Baumwipfelpfad Steigerwald is a 1152-metre barrier-free treetop walkway between Ebrach and Breitbach in the Steigerwald Nature Park, built to plans by architect Josef Stöger of Schönberg. It runs at an average height of 26 metres above the ground through the Hohe Buchene Wald forest. About two-thirds along, a mostly wooden, cup-shaped observation tower opens upward; the path on its outer side leads barrier-free to a circular gallery at the top with a full view over the wooded Steigerwald.

The canopy walkway opened on 19 March 2016, built to designs by the Schönberg architect Josef Stöger. It complements the Steigerwald-Zentrum in nearby Handthal as an education and experience facility of the Bavarian state forestry administration.

The path is run by the Bavarian Forest Administration and complements the Steigerwald-Zentrum in Handthal, a centre for sustainability education. Its name refers to the Steigerwald, the forest region it crosses between Ebrach and Breitbach.

The walkway is open all year, with opening hours adjusted to the seasons. It is reached directly from the B22 road south of the site, and the entire 1152-metre route is barrier-free. The tower's outer path lets wheelchair users and strollers reach the top circular platform without steps.

The tower is a cup-shaped structure built mainly of wood that opens upward. The path continues along its outer side, so visitors reach the circular top walkway without stairs and get a full-circle view over the Steigerwald. The walkway was opened on 19 March 2016 and is 1152 metres long.
