The top tree top walks in Germany

Nature is new every day and always. Spring, summer, autumn or winter - in the beech forest in Prora it looks different every time, it smells different, it feels different. Visitors of all ages can experience and understand nature all year round on the only treetop path in Europe with a sea view: at eye level with unspoilt beech trees on the barrier-free treetop path, on guided hikes to the famous flintstone fields or in the exciting adventure exhibitions. They walk through the three ecosystems of forest, open land and wetlands.

The highlight is the 40-meter-high lookout tower of the treetop path, which is modeled on an eagle's nest. With a bit of luck, visitors to the Rügen Natural Heritage Center can watch native white-tailed eagles on their excursions from here.
