At the Forest Explorer Path, opened in June 2025, visitors can expect exciting themed worlds about forest, wildlife, climate, biodiversity, and health.

The new Forest Explorer Path in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler is a very special attraction that excites both young and old! What makes it so special is the exciting combination of nature experience and interactive discoveries.

The path leads visitors through the beautiful recreational forest of Bad Neuenahr. Along the way there are various stations. These new themed worlds invite young and old alike to playfully acquire knowledge, such as the functions of the forest and its importance as a water reservoir. The information can not only be read but also experienced interactively. The biodiversity in the forest is also shown, for example through the “fur feeler,” which makes various forest inhabitants tangible. At the “animal tracks pavilion,” you learn to recognize animals by their footprints. At the same time, information on possible actions to protect nature is provided, so: What can I do at home?

The Forest Explorer Path raises awareness of nature, is fun, and is a great opportunity to spend time together outdoors. It is thus an ideal addition for families, school classes, and nature lovers who want to experience Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler in a new, exciting way!

Special feature: a forest for the soul The new path is intended to be more than just a destination, and therefore the topic “health effects through stays in nature” was integrated into the concept, with the forest consciously highlighted as a place of health – a place where quiet moments are also possible. Whether consciously lingering under tree canopies, exploring exciting themed worlds, or casually exchanging ideas with like-minded people: the forest becomes a retreat and a source of strength – for every age group and every life situation.
