Shooting Star Trail in the WaldEntdeckerWelt

Start at the entrance to the Forest Discovery World. This is where the quest begins. Follow the Treetop Trail to reach the Forest Discovery Tower high above the ground. From the top, you’ll see the lights of the Forest Christmas twinkling among the trees.

Continue on to the Star Grove. Glowing sparks will guide you to the Star Grove. There, write your wish on the shooting star you received at the entrance. Then hang it in the Sky of Wishes—where it will remain.

Return trip through the forest from the Forest Christmas: From the Starry Glade, the Forest Floor Trail leads back toward the parking lot. Countless lanterns light your way. From below, you’ll see the Shooting Star Trail once again from a completely different perspective.

At the entrance to the Shooting Star Trail, every child receives a star map. At the spark stations, older children collect letters to spell out a secret word. The younger ones can count the sparks—that way, they can join in, too. At the end, a children’s punch awaits as a reward at the punch hut.

The Shooting Star Trail is accessible in any weather. Dress warmly and in weather-appropriate clothing, and wear sturdy shoes. You don’t need a flashlight.

With a stroller or wheelchair: The forest trail is accessible with a stroller. The section of the Shooting Star Trail on the Treetop Path has steps and is therefore not accessible with a stroller or wheelchair.

With a dog: Dogs are allowed. Please keep your dog on a leash.
