What: Tree climbing experience
Where: Rue du Schwarzenhof, L-8452 Steinfort
When: Ongoing - info & tickets
If the weather holds up as promised and it does not pour from the heavens, then why not get up-close and personal with some trees? Steinfort’s adventure park offers different trails depending on age and height, ranging from 4 to over-16s (those under the age of 4 do need to be accompanied by adult).
If you enjoy nature, some physical movement and heights, and want to do something slightly different with family or friends, this is a great option (especially since the Vianden adventure park is closed). Last start at 3pm and bookings need to be made by phone.
