Adventure Park Voglsam, Schönau
The Voglsam adventure park differs greatly from other amusement parks. Because here it’s not so much about having fun, the focus is above all on movement. The history of the park began quite comfortably with a hot air balloon, over time more movement was added with a go-kart track, a mini golf course, a summer toboggan run and a climbing park. The barefoot path, tire slide and petting zoo are also waiting to be tried out.
And something else makes this park special: Nobody has to pay admission here. From the water playground to the giant trampoline, many attractions on the site are free of charge. Some activities, however, cost something. Prices for mini golf start at around three euros, and those who want to take to the skies in a hot air balloon pay at least 225 euros. There is a special treat for holidaymakers: guests can stay in wooden tree houses.
The adventure park is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the high season, in April, May, June and July sometimes only from 1 p.m., in September and October sometimes from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Outside of school holidays, the high ropes course is only open from Friday to Sunday.
