This is what you can expect!

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.

When the magic of the lights on the Saarschleife treetop walk bathes the path and the viewing tower in a magical light, an enchanting winter wonderland is created. 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.

The Magic of Lights takes place in winter for a limited time. From November 29, 2025, to February 15, 2026, you can immerse yourself in the glowing world. Check our calendar of events regularly to make sure you don’t miss any news.

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.
