Frequently Asked Questions Climbing

We do not recommend climbing with us if you are pregnant. However, if you really want to come climbing, always consult your midwife. They can determine whether or not this activity is suitable for you.

The ExpoGlider system is a safety system where the lifeline is hooked up from the very first point you go up. During the course it is attached to the steel cable above the elements. Only at the end of the course can it be disconnected again. As a result, you are continuously secured during the climbing activity and only need to maneuver the ExpoGlider through the curves. There is no question of disconnecting and reconnecting while climbing, like the authentic system.

We use a system unlike other climbing forests that never allows you to get loose. We use the exploglider system. Also, we are TÜV certified and our instructors are trained with a multi-day mandatory course that is repeated every year.

A block takes 2.5 hours including instruction. The instruction including putting on materials takes about half an hour. So you have at least 2 hours to climb.

We do not use an age in our climbing forest but a minimum height of 1.20 meters. Unlike other climbing parks that often use an age and minimum length of 1.30 meters or even 1.50 meters.

Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult when climbing. Kids must be at least 1.20 meters tall to enter the park. For more info, see our rules and regulations.

Because we have a safety system where you are continuously secured, you are not obliged to climb with your kids (provided they are older than 12 years!). Of course we advise you to climb with them, just because it is fun for everyone!

You can accompany a maximum of 3 children per adult.

Yes this is possible! If the 14 year old does not dare to continue, this also means that the 10 year old cannot continue. As a parent you must be present in our climbing forest.

No, you can choose the course you want to start with after the instructions. You have 2 hours and the opportunity to do multiple courses.

Yes, at our park there is the highest picnic table in Europe to climb and clamber on. But there is also something for the little ones to do. It is possible opposite the climbing forest to visit the play loft of family restaurant the Wildebras. Here the children can play freely while the parents can sit carefree on the terrace, in the restaurant or climbing forest Garderen. Furthermore, a short distance from the climbing forest is the Veluwe Specialist. A rental shop where bicycles, e-steps, gps systems and Twizy's are rented. Also, if you have a family day, for example, and not everyone wants to climb, you can choose a package with, for example, Road bowling and a covered wagon ride.

Should you decide not to go after all, you cannot get a refund of your entry fee. If you are halfway down the course and you are not so sure how to proceed, our experienced instructors will provide tips and help you as best they can.

You must be present 15 minutes before the start. After this 15 minutes, if you have not yet paid, your reservation may be given away to others.
