The view is fantastic. It's an exhilarating feeling to walk across it. However, some height-sensitive visitors apparently didn't really enjoy it (or so it seemed). Great construction and very impressive.
It's definitely worth a visit.

The suspension bridge - Skywalk Willingen (Upland)

At an impressive 665 meters long, the 120-ton structure leads from the internationally famous Mühlenkopfschanze through the Willingen district of Stryck to Musenberg. Visitors can look far into the distance from an impressive height of one hundred meters over the breathtaking low mountain landscape of the Upland. At 665 Me

tern length and 1.30m width, 700 people can enter the bridge at the same time. Sufficient parking spaces are available to visitors at Stryckbahnhof and in Strycktal. The local catering industry is well catered for. Both entrances to the bridge on the Schanzen and Musenberg sides are extremely attractive from which to start further excursions, for example to the Ettelsberg and the adjacent Hochheide or in the direction of Usseln to the Graf Stollberghütte.

The Skywalk Willingen recently opened (July 1, 2023) and is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Germany at 665 meters. The bridge, which cost a good 4.5 million euros, is 100 meters above ground at its highest point. A ticket costs 11 euros and can only be paid for at the south entrance (forest) by debit card (no PayPal or similar). A ticket is valid for one day! The bridge is open until 9 p.m.! Not for people who get dizzy easily. The bridge swings quite a bit!
Sensible shoes are recommended as there are gratings to walk on.

My tip: Take the cable car on Ettelsberg and buy a combination ticket for €19.50 (September 2023) for the pure mountain journey, so you've already saved a few hundred meters uphill. When you reach the top you can take the nature hiking trail to the Skywalk. Sturdy shoes are essential. On the way back, have a beer at the Wilddieb cross-country back to the valley station. Hike without cable car 8.3 km. The valley station also offers a great place to stop for a break, where you can eat and drink while enjoying the view of the hills.

With a length of 665 meters and a width of 1.30 m, 700 people can enter the bridge at the same time. It is very impressive and everyone should try it once.

The Skywalk is incredibly fun (as long as you don't have a head for heights) - the bridge sways clearly and the floor gratings offer a great view of the valley under your feet

Skywalk Willingen - from the idea to the finished project

In September 2016, hotelier Gert Göbel went on an excursion to Austria with entrepreneur friends. On the way back to the bus, the Skywalk's founding partners Arndt Brüne and Markus Wilke were so impressed by the idea of a suspension bridge in the Upland that they began implementing the "Skywalk" project.

In the summer of 2017, a project company was founded in which over a hundred private individuals and business people came together and provided the start-up capital. The local banks contributed the remaining part of the approximately €4.5 million construction cost. The planning for the new Willingen location took around three years.

Look, hover, sway on the longest suspension rope bridge in Germany - how awesome is that! My wish comes true, I feel free and freshly aired up here.

A nice way to the bridge. Free parking at the DRK. The view of the skywalk from the ski jump is nicer. You can't pay cash here. It can be done from the Schanze

An absolute must for walkers with a head for heights and who don't mind swaying on the bridge.

A ticket is for a round trip. Even when leaving the facility. Invites you to go on a hike at the exit. The ticket is valid all day 👍🙂

Germany's longest suspension bridge. An experience and an adventure. Not for the faint of heart or people with a fear of heights!

The Willingen Sky Bridge is open.
With a length of 665 meters, the Skywalk is the second longest cantilever suspension bridge in the world, as the Skywalk's shareholders announced. It is built in Tibetan style and has no supporting pillars in the middle.

Large free parking lot right on the main road. About a 30 minute walk. No cash payment at the ticket machine!
From this direction you can't see much of the bridge and therefore have less opportunity to change your mind.

A trip to the bridge is definitely worth it! You just need to have a head for heights 😎 You can also combine a visit to the bridge with a short hike.
