High Ropes Course in Hannover

The ropes course is a fixed top-rope facility conveniently located in the heart of Hanover—the Eilenriede City Forest—on the grounds of the WAKITU Adventure Center, a municipal youth program. The ropes course consists of low and high elements. The low elements focus on the group and its ability to solve problems together. On the high ropes elements, participants must navigate their way at heights ranging from 5 to 20 meters and complete movement and team tasks while secured. Here, the focus on self-reflection and group dynamics plays a crucial role.

Programs

We offer a variety of bookable programs for school groups, families, and others. Multi-day projects are also available. Programs are tailored to the specific group. Depending on the type of program booked, each session lasts between 3 and 6.5 hours. Since the Hannover Rope Course is designed as an educational project, the training programs are based on concepts of action- and experience-oriented learning. The focus is on holistic learning that engages the “head, heart, and hands.”

Family climbing

Once a month, the Hannover Rope Course offers climbing events for families, individuals, and small groups. In 2.5-hour sessions, participants can try out various climbing features. No prior experience is required.
The elements vary in height and difficulty, making them suitable for both “first-time climbers” and “adventurous climbers.” Participants in each event are divided into small groups of six and guided through the course by an instructor.
The program is specifically designed for parents with children but is also open to other participants.

The area is mostly pleasant and shady in summer due to the tall oak and beech trees. Sanitary facilities are available. An adjacent forest café is open in good weather.

The Hannover Rope Course is a project of Hannover’s municipal child and youth services, developed from experiential education activities organized by various organizations in this field.
