Camping is typically done in the woods (albeit many kids probably do “camp” in the backyard), but now a German adventure mountain is offering campers the chance to actually spend the night hanging off the tree tops! Waldseilgarten in Pfronten, Bavaria hosts adventure nights out during the summer months, where guests can sleep in a portaledge that hangs off a cliff or from a tree. The hanging tent system si the same that is used by rock climbers on multiple day climbs and features a fabric-covered platform supported by a metal frame and is suspended from a secured single point. Guests can only ascend or descend with rope assistance, so planning ahead for nature’s call should be considered.
Guests receive rope climbing training before getting to call it a night in the trees, and trained staff are on hand to aid guests. In the winter months hardly campers can even build their own igloo and sleep near the summit. Whether in the summer or winter months, Waldseilgarten certainly seems to take adventure camping to new heights.
