What to discover at the Treetop Walk Rügen
OUR TREETOP WALK
IN A NUTSHELL
The Tower
The Tower
THE EAGLE’S NEST
The highlight of the trail is literally the 40-metre high observation tower, also called the eagle’s nest.
It is unique not only because of its airy architectural form, but also because of the way the tower was built around a 30-metre-high copper beech. Round and round it goes through the forest’s storeys. The walkway in the observation tower is step-free and rises so gently that it is easy to manage even with a wheelchair or pram.
Once you reach the highest platform, you are rewarded with an impressive view of the Rügen landscape and the Baltic Sea. If the sky is clear, you can even see the church spires of Stralsund and the pylons of the Rügen Bridge. With a little luck, you can watch the native sea eagles of the surrounding forests on their excursions from the tower.
The tower in numbers
- Length of the ramp inside the tower: 600 meters
- Height of tower: 40 meters
- Length of each lap in the tower: 60 meters

THE PATH
With a total length of 1,250 metres and a height of 4 to 17 metres, the treetop path winds its way through the pristine mixed beech forest – past numerous learning, activity- and adrenalin-stations.
Like the observation tower, the path is designed to be fully accessible and family- as well as age-friendly. A maximum gradient of 6 % allows wheelchair and pram access.

FAQs around the path
Frequently asked
questions and answers
Weather
Can I visit the Treetop Walk in all weather conditions?
Can I visit the Treetop Walk in all weather conditions?
Yes, the path is open in all weather conditions, even when it rains. If it snows, the path is cleared properly and is therefore also accessible for our guests.
However, in the event of thunderstorms, hail, storms and ice, we reserve the right to close the trail for safety reasons.
If we have to close the trail at short notice, we will announce it here on our website, on Facebook and Instagram. Before you head off to the Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen, we recommend to take a quick look at one of these channels!
Barrier-free

The access to the entrance tower, the tree top walk and the observation tower “Adlerhorst” are designed to be fully accessible and age-friendly.
The path is, with a maximum gradient of 6 %, also accessible for wheelchair users and prams. There are areas along the way without ascents, which offer opportunities to take a break.
At the end of the Treetop Walk, an exit tower brings you back to the ground. Once you have reached the bottom, you can go directly to the environmental information centre.
In the exit tower as well as in the environmental information centre, a lift makes it easy for senior citizens, wheelchair users and parents with prams to visit.
Our restaurant, the Boomhus Gastronomie, is also accessible to wheelchair users.
Dogs
Is my dog allowed on the Treetop Walk?
Is my dog allowed on the Treetop Walk?
Dogs* and animals of all kinds are not allowed on the trail.
In addition to the hygiene aspect, the safety aspect (for animals and humans) plays a major role in this decision. Most responsible owners keep a close eye on their animals, but dogs can still show unexpected social behaviour towards strangers and also towards their peers. A fear of heights in dogs can also trigger flight behaviour. Unfortunately, the narrow path offers neither retreat nor escape possibilities for animals nor for people with a fear of dogs.
There are doghouses with drinking water available for your four-legged friends at the treetop path, and you can use them free of charge.
Information on this is available at the ticket office.
*Exception: disabled companion dogs and care assistance dogs.
