From 30 November 2024
the treetop walk at the Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen will be a shining winter highlight on the island.

This winter, the entire treetop walk at the Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen shines in a soft white light. Kilometres of fairy lights envelop the ‘Adlerhorst’ observation tower and path. Illuminated pictures and 3D installations make the hearts of our young and old guests beat faster and create magical moments.

It starts on 30 November 2024, and anyone who doesn’t want to miss this experience should make a note of the date. The Magic of Lights can be experienced at the Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen until 2 March 2025.

Please note that special opening hours apply during this time, which you can find in detail below. On the days with the Magic of Lights, the treetop walk will be open for you from 13:00 – 20:00 and will be shrouded in enchanting light at nightfall.

The regular admission prices apply for the Magic of Lights. You can purchase tickets as usual at the ticket office on site or via the online ticket shop. Annual tickets are of course valid.

Questions and answers about our magic lights on the treetop walk at the Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen

Interesting facts and information

Figures and data

Figures and data

How many LEDs were installed?

Over 300,000 LEDs were installed.

These are located in the fairy lights along the handrail as well as in the 2D and 3D lighting elements. The fairy lights are several kilometres long.

Naturally, we use state-of-the-art and therefore energy-saving technology. Sustainability is a key principle for the Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen and for Erlebnis Akademie AG (eak) as a whole. For this reason, we have dealt intensively with this question in advance. Energy consumption was a decisive criterion. This is around 4 kilowatt hours per day. That is about the same amount as a person consumes in a private household.

Does this have an impact on our wildlife?

Are there any effects on forest animals?

The light magic has no negative impact on the animals in the forest.

In preparation for the winter highlight, we held discussions with the responsible district forester, among others. We use a warm white, soft light with very low light emissions. The light sources used have been developed for outdoor use in nature, with a particular focus on our wildlife. In addition, the low temperatures during the winter months prevent insect activity. The flight activities of bats also start much later at this time of year and the breeding season of native birds only begins again with the foliage.

In order to allow the animals in the forest a natural break from light, the opening hours of the Magic Lights are limited. We close the treetop walk every evening at 20:00 and switch off all the lights.

Our Boomhus restaurant and shop are open for you.

The opening hours of our in-house restaurant are based on the opening hours of the Rügen Natural Heritage Centre and treetop walk. Whether you come on a day with or without the Magic of Lights, you can enjoy a warm meal, a small snack or a drink in our cosy restaurant.
Our shop opening hours are also adapted accordingly. So you can always look for a small souvenir or a gift from us.
