Was that just a glittering squirrel scurrying across the path at lightning speed?
Perhaps you will come across a magical family of deer along the way, shining in the sparkling light, or discover other mysterious forest dwellers that appear in shimmering splendour.
From 30 November 2024, the Saarschleife treetop walk will be illuminated in white light for the first time, transforming the entire area into an enchanted winter wonderland. Look forward to an unforgettable evening walk at lofty heights that will enchant you with magical moments. Let yourself be surprised by the sparkling secrets that await you – perhaps small animals will flash here and there in the glow of the lights or the mystical atmosphere of the night will cast a spell over you. Save the date, because the magic of lights at the Saarschleife can only be experienced until 12 January 2025 and promises magical moments that you shouldn’t miss!
This is what you can expect!

How sustainable is the lighting installation?
Sustainability is a key principle at the Saarschleife treetop walk and for Erlebnis Akademie GmbH as a whole. For this reason, the operating company dealt intensively with this issue in advance. Energy consumption was a decisive criterion. Although we are installing a total of around 300,000 LED lights: This is state-of-the-art LED technology and a very soft light, which is why the entire lighting system only consumes around 4 kilowatt hours of electricity per day. By comparison, that is less than one person consumes per day in a private household.

Are there any effects on the animals in the forest?
We use a warm white, soft light with very low light emissions. The light sources used are developed for outdoor use in nature, with a particular focus on minimising the impact on wildlife - including birds, bats and all our other fellow inhabitants. The lighting installation is coordinated with key nature conservation and landscape management organisations.
