Garderen Climbing reservation
In the middle of the Veluwe forests you will find Klimbos Garderen. Klimbos Garderen uses a unique fuse system where everyone is continuously secured. This makes it the safest climbing forest in the Netherlands. You'll also find the highest climbing course in the Netherlands at 25 meters. There are also special courses for toddlers, your climbing goat can climb from 4 years!
Accessibility at
At Klimbos Garderen, you’ll find a wide variety of courses—easy, difficult, high, and low. There’s a course suitable for everyone. You have 2.5 hours to climb the courses of your choice. Most courses are open to anyone 1.20 meters or taller, but for the little adventurers among us who haven’t reached that height yet, there’s the Mini Ticket. Two exciting courses await these little climbers! Of course, you’ll receive a thorough briefing from our instructors before you start climbing. Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. One adult (13 years or older) may supervise up to three children. Guests who aren’t climbing but would like to watch are welcome to do so for free.
Courses
The park consists of ten different courses, each with its own theme. Klimbos Garderen offers a fun and active day out for all ages and skill levels. The courses are located at various heights: 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, 18, and 25 meters. So you can start off at a leisurely pace and eventually reach the top. The difficulty level varies by course. Klimbos Garderen is also very suitable for inexperienced and less athletic climbers.
Clothing
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear; flip-flops are not allowed. Long hair must be tied back.
