From 30 November 2024, the entire Treetop Walk Black Forest will once again be illuminated in soft white fairy lights, enveloping the Sommerberg in Bad Wildbad in a magical atmosphere. Wait and see what magical encounters will surprise you on your night-time walk above the treetops. Perhaps a magical family of deer – or a glittering squirrel scurrying across the path? Make a note of the date, because you can only experience the magic of lights on the Sommerberg until 16 February 2025.

How sustainable is the lighting installation?
Sustainability is a key principle at the Treetop Walk Black Forest and for Erlebnis Akademie AG (eak) as a whole. For this reason, the operating company has intensively addressed 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 the light is very soft, which is why the entire lighting system only consumes around 4 kilowatt hours of electricity per day. By way of comparison, that is less than one person consumes per day in a private household.

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 minimising the impact on wildlife - including birds, bats and all the other inhabitants of the Black Forest. We agreed the lighting installation in advance with our local forester.
