Description of the Alpine Playground Bort

At the Alpine Playground, kids of all ages can find various activities. The climbing and balancing landscapes specifically promote the children's motor skills. Coordination and balance are playfully trained. The play structures are largely made of wood and other natural materials. Necessary metal parts like the slide are made of stainless steel. The fall protection mainly consists of wood chips, which also contribute to a pleasant atmosphere visually. Parents can watch from the nearby restaurant, the tent bar, or a picnic spot, or enjoy the scenery.

The large sandbox is covered by a protective sunshade. The climbing towers are equipped with additional elements like slides, ropes, and nets. A small brook provides extra fun for kids who love to dam water or build bridges. On exercise equipment, slides, swings, seesaws, and trampolines, kids can really let loose. The balancing and climbing area forms a good basis for future mountain hikes with the whole family. The Alpine Playground Bort is perfect for a family outing.
