Winter Lights in Bad Wildbad

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.
