Königsstuhl National Park Centre

I was very disappointed with the visit. Paying €14 for a viewpoint that honestly doesn’t offer anything spectacular feels like a money grab. For that price, I expected much more, the maintenance should definitely be at a higher level (there were even cobwebs visible, as shown in the attached photo). For this kind of experience, €2 would be a more realistic price. My recommendation: walk past the parking area and take the forest trail, you can get a much better view completely free of charge. The only positive thing was that the staff were friendly.

I bought the evening ticket for €6 and it was absolutely worth it! The walkway was beautiful and truly atmospheric, the view was stunning, and the film was fascinating and very well done. On top of that, the lady at the ticket counter was extremely kind, professional, and welcoming, she really made the experience even better

Wow what a beautiful place & must-visit a) the views are just spectacular, world-class and b) the Centre has an amazing nature educational exhibition (one of the best we ever saw. We took nearly 2 hrs but you can rush through in 30/45 min - incl. a children tour too) so thoughtful, interactive and a touching film to view (all included in the price). Also the food is quite good at reasonable prices (with vegan & veggie food option). Plenty to do for children. We spent overall 6 hours without noticing there. Highly recommended. Grateful for beautiful places like that that also raise environmental awareness. PS: from the car park in Hagen you can also stroll 1 hour through the famous, nature protected beech forests (there are also shuttle buses), the path is quite clear.

It’s just a trap for tourists , 12 euro is not worthy here. Better to walk or hike throughout the forest trust me you will find the better scenario and feel refreshing

Mixed feelings, i agree with the people here being it too costly (with parking, shuttle bus and then entrance fee) its feels like everyone wants to profit out of something that belongs to nature. I however like the informative tour inside the building. They also have the tour for blind people in which they can touch things and experience it better. Thats something you do not find often!

It’s a great place for nature lovers and to know more about the local ecosystem and how it was formed. There is also a viewing platform where we can take some great pictures. Overall good way to spend time when in this area.

Mixed feelings about this place. Obviously, the nature around the park center is stunning. They really put an effort into providing information about the history, flora and fauna of the place. Expensive given you pay 12€ just for this though. It’s disappointing though that the variety of vegan food offered here equals 0 (unless you count an oven baked potato without any sauce as an option). The french fries are prepared in the same oil as the chicken nuggets. Interesting to read that nothing has changed since two years ago when another user had posted a review about this. I would expect more from a place that promotes nature and sustainability. My family tried the non-vegan options. They were average at most. Side note: Dogs must be on a leash and wear a muzzle on the shuttle bus to get here since about one year ago… great way to make money selling them for 8.99€ at the parking.

It was a small park but the most interesting part was Sky Walk. Loved the views.
