Extraordinary insights into the wilderness

With a mixture of imaginative productions and high tech, extraordinary insights into the wilderness of the Kellerwald are possible in the National Park Center, which otherwise remain hidden from us humans.

And all this regardless of the weather.

In the UrTreasures of the Wilderness area, you can experience the different habitats of the national park from surprising perspectives. The interactive exhibits in the WaldWerk reveal the many little secrets of the beech forests and their inhabitants.

A new unique 4D sensory film is running in the film room: "Hidden Worlds - Rustic Forest" - 15 minutes.

In the National Park Center there is also the guest room with a large outdoor terrace where you can stop off.

Outside there is a small adventure playground and an amphitheater.
