YOUR VISIT AT THE TREETOP WALK USEDOM

Dogs or pets of any kind are unfortunately not allowed on the trail. The only exception to this is for disabled companion dogs and care assistance dogs.
We want to enable all guests to have a worry-free outdoor experience on our Treetop Walk, including those visitors who shy away from or are even afraid of animals. In addition, we want to prevent hygienic problems that can arise due to the natural requirements of an animal. Last but not least, walking at great heights is highly stressful for the animals. Occurring fear of heights in dogs can cause unexpected social or even flight behaviour.
That is why lockable dog boxes with fresh drinking water are available near the entrance area. These can be used by our guests free of charge. Dogs are able to stay here while they wait for their owners.
Yes, the trail is open in case of rain and in case of snowfall the trail will be cleared and is accessible.

If the path has to be closed, we will announce this on the website.

For private purposes, everyone is allowed to take photographs and film on the Treetop Walk. However, overflights and recordings with drones are prohibited. Apart from environmental protection (noise caused by large drones, disturbance of the animals’ strictly protected habitats during take-off, landing and drone flights), protection of our visitors from unwanted recordings also matters for the ban.
A filming permission is always required for photo and film recordings made at the Treetop Walk for commercial purposes. For more information, please visit our press section: https://www.eak-ag.de/eakag-en/press/press-contact/
Smoking is prohibited on the Treetop Walk. This may first seem strange for an open-air leisure activity, but please be aware of the following: You are staying in a strictly prohibited area. Throwaway cigarette butts are an unpleasant co-inhabitant here, which not only persist for a long time (2-7 years), but also could start wildfires.
