Spiral Slide at Baumwipfelpfad Rügen

Highlight • Structure

Down the stairs or slide?
You can reach the bottom via a descent tower.
If you prefer, you can skip the steps and whizz down with momentum:
During the summer months, a 52-meter-long slide awaits at the end of the path.
The ultimate sliding experience takes you from the 19-meter-high platform in the trees back to the ground. Alternatively, you can complete the accessible treetop walk via the stairs or take the elevator.

Observation Tower at Naturerbe Zentrum Rügen

Highlight • Viewpoint

North of the picturesque seaside resort Binz rises in the middle of the dense coastal forest of Prora, the imposing wooden tower of the Natural Heritage Center Rügen. Just like in an eagle's nest, visitors here feel in the lookout tower of the same name, which, with a height of 40 meters, promises a magnificent view over the more than 10 kilometers long beach of Prora.
Here, the footpath spiraling over several floors spiraling in the air and surrounds first the massive trunk and then the expansive crown of a very old and 30 meters high beech. But before these impressive views open up to the visitor, this happens the large wooden amphitheater of the treetop path Rügen.

Old Forester's House, Prora

Highlight • Historical Site

The place Prora was probably only created around 1800 by the von Putbus family. The origin of the settlement, which is located a bit away from the sea in the large forests near the Jasmunder Bodden, was a forester's house in the style of historicism, which was modeled on that of the Granitz hunting lodge. It was probably built between 1864 and 1867. The first known mention of the Prora forester's house is in 1867, with seven residents. The forester's house Prora is located directly on the B 196a, from Prora towards Karow, on the left hand side on the approx. 1,900 hectare property Prora / Stedar-Pulitz. At the time, the forester of Prince zu Putbus resided here. In GDR times it was the seat of the forest administration and until 1992 it still had tenants. The last resident is said to have been the district forester of Prora. Then the forester's house began to fall into disrepair. In the spring of 2009, the German Federal Environment Foundation took over the "Old Forester's House Prora" in order to build an environmental information center on the area of the former Prora military forest on the island of Rügen, which is now the Rügen Natural Heritage Center.
