You should be present 15 minutes before the start.
- I have damage to my clothes, am I insured for this?
Any damage caused to your clothing is at your own risk. This also applies, for example, to your glasses: we therefore advise you to bring your sports glasses or make sure there is a lanyard on your glasses. Please note: you will be climbing in a forest, where the trees may give off resin! Keep this in mind when choosing your clothing.
- I haven't exercised in a long time, can I handle the Klimbos?
If you are physically fit, you can also handle our routes. Before you start, you will be given instructions to then take on the challenge step by step. Do not hesitate to ask our instructors how you can overcome an obstacle more easily. We are here to help you!
- Will the climbing continue even with bad weather?
Yes, climbing can be done in many weather conditions. In doing so, the forest is extra sheltered. Only when the safety in danger, such as thunderstorms or storms, the instructor will decide to cancel the climbing. Not sure if the weather will allow climbing? Then please call.
- Am I insured while climbing?
Yes, you are insured with special insurance that covers the specific climbing forest risks.
- Are there ticks in the forest?
Yes. We recommend checking yourself and any children for tick bites after visiting the Climbing & Adventure Forest.
- Are there processionary caterpillars in the forest?
We have taken several precautionary measures to control processionary caterpillars. In doing so, we check the forest daily for caterpillars. However, we are in an adjacent large forest, so unfortunately we cannot guarantee that they are not there.
- For those not climbing along, is there anything to do?
Yes indeed. The Klimbos also has a course close to the ground (low rope course). On this course, participants who do not dare to climb can enjoy themselves. There are also cosy seats in the forest for watching and photographing the climbers.
- How often do you get to go through the climbing courses?
In principle, you may go through all courses once. In case there is time left, we will decide which course can be done again. Experience shows that there is often still time to do the course a 2nd time.
- Do I need to choose a course in advance?
No, you choose which course you do after the instructions and the practice course, depending on the crowds. You have the option of doing all 3 courses.
- If I don't dare go on, what then?
If you find yourself halfway through the course and are not so sure how to proceed, our experienced instructors will give tips and help you as best they can.
