Wichtelpark Sillian
What can you expect from a park with this name? Correct – that your own “imps” will feel great. The word “Wichtel”, for all those who don’t know, denotes munchkin, imp or brownie. In this context it is intended for children, for whom Wichtelpark Sillian really does offer a lot. Certainly everything that a children’s heart craves. And it can even be said that enthusiastic parents too find Wichtelpark just as “cool” as their beloved little ones. Wichtelpark Sillian’s location is certainly no accident. Especially since Hochpustertal is described as the most family-friendly valley in East Tyrol. The motto in Wichtelpark is precisely set up with this fact in mind – “Berge für Zwerge”. Children have their own bit of East Tyrol here. And children have a park, where they can just be children.

The offers in Wichtelpark Sillian are almost too extensive to be listed exhaustibly. There is mini-golf, a Wichtel train, a high ropes garden, the Winter Wichtel Land, the Wichtel ice rink and so much more.

Open:
May-October, dayly from 9:00-20:00

High wire park - Adventure Park Parco avventura Dobbiaco:
Beginners and experienced climbers can demonstrate their skills at the Parco avventura Dobbiaco. Adventurous souls can choose from six different courses:
Two “introductory courses” in up to three meters height help visitors familiarise themselves with the material and the safety techniques.
The “GREEN” course reaches a height of approx. two meters.
The heart of the facility are the “BLUE” and “RED” courses with a total length of 241 meters, reaching heights of approx. four to six meters.
If that is still not enough, you can also try the “BLACK” course. This course is eight to ten meters high and offers difficult obstacles, such as the suspended “Buffalo Bill Stirrups”, which require a considerable amount of courage.
The high wire park is interesting not only for adults but for the whole family. The facility is designed with special attention to children and young people from 6 years of age.
