WildLine, Suspension bridge in Bad Wildbad, Germany.
WildLine is a suspension bridge in Bad Wildbad that stretches 380 meters through the forest canopy, suspended 60 meters above the ground. The structure connects different hiking paths on the Sommerberg area.
The bridge was completed in July 2018 and has shaped the Black Forest landscape as a modern structure. It was built to expand the region's hiking infrastructure and tourism offerings.
The bridge is part of the Sommerberg Bad Wildbad leisure area, which also holds the Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald treetop path and the Sommerbergbahn. It links into the hiking trail network above the Bärenklinge side valley. The name Wildline combines the town of Bad Wildbad with the English word line.
The bridge is open during the day all year; it closes only on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve and briefly during storms. The walkway is 1.20 metres wide and barrier-free, so wheelchairs and pushchairs can cross. It is arched upward, with a maximum gradient of ten percent toward the middle. At most 300 people are allowed on at once.
As you walk across, the bridge sways gently, creating a natural feeling of movement underfoot. The metal mesh flooring allows you to look down and see the forest floor far below.
