The Forest Tower is situated at Camp Adventure in Rønnede, approximately an hour's drive south of Copenhagen. From Copenhagen, the most convenient way to reach Camp Adventure is by car or by joining a guided tour that includes transportation. Public transport involves a train to Næstved, followed by a local bus or taxi to the site, which takes longer and requires more planning.
Visitors typically spend 1.5 to 2 hours exploring the Forest Tower area, including the walk to the tower and the ascent itself. The tower features a gentle, accessible spiral ramp, making the climb feel less strenuous than stairs. It is designed to be suitable for most fitness levels, including those with strollers or wheelchairs, as there are no steps on the main ascent path.
The Forest Tower is renowned for its distinctive hourglass shape and a 650-meter-long spiral ramp that gradually ascends through the treetop canopy. From its 45-meter-high observation deck, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of the preserved Danish forest, surrounding lakes, and the South Zealand landscape, offering a truly unique perspective of nature.
Visitors to the Forest Tower can expect a tranquil and immersive experience, walking gently above the forest floor before reaching a spectacular panoramic viewpoint. The accessible design of the ramp makes it suitable for families with young children, elderly visitors, and individuals with limited mobility, ensuring a unique outdoor adventure for all age groups.
The 'Forgotten Giants' are a series of large, enchanting wooden sculptures created by artist Thomas Dambo. These unique, hidden art installations are made from recycled materials and are scattered across natural areas around Copenhagen, including some within reachable distance of Camp Adventure where the Forest Tower is located. Discovering them involves exploring forest trails.
The Forest Tower and Forgotten Giants can be visited year-round, with each season offering a distinct charm. Spring and summer (April-September) provide lush greenery, longer daylight hours, and pleasant temperatures for exploration. Autumn (October-November) showcases vibrant fall foliage, while winter brings a serene, often snowy, landscape, though it can be colder.
A visit combining the Forest Tower and a search for the Forgotten Giants involves a moderate amount of walking. The tower itself features a long, gradual ramp. Locating the Giants often requires navigating forest trails, which can be uneven. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended to fully enjoy the natural surroundings and discover the sculptures.
Camp Adventure, the home of the Forest Tower, offers a range of facilities to enhance the visitor experience. These include convenient parking areas, clean restrooms, and a café providing refreshments and light meals. There are also designated picnic spots available for guests who wish to bring their own food, ensuring a comfortable and well-equipped environment for a day trip.
