Hainich National Park (German: Nationalpark Hainich), founded on December 31, 1997, is the 13th national park in Germany and the only one in Thuringia. One of the main objectives of the park is the protection of an ancient native beech forest. In 2011, the park was added to the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe World Heritage Site because of its testimony to the ecological history of the beech tree and the dynamics of forests in Europe since the Last Glacial Period. The 75 km2 (29 sq mi) park lies in the western part of the German state of Thuringia, east of the Werra River, and is part of the greater Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werratal Nature Park. It occupies much of the triangular area between the cities of Eisenach, Mühlhausen, and Bad Langensalza. The national park the southern part of the roughly 160 km2 (62 sq mi) Hainich, the largest contiguous deciduous forest in Germany.

Very nice place to hike with friends in summer and weekend. Get the bus 150 from Bad Langesalza. 2.1€ for arrive and 2.5€ to come back (Idk why 🤔). Bus schedule as in photo. I recommend to wear long pants to protect from insects. 5e for observation tower but it's deserved. P/s: on Mon and Wed, they have free trip through the forest with tour guide. Super cool 👏

Very nice walk on the treetop with amazing views and fun and advantrous games on the way. We went we 3 young kids and they loved it. Also good playground, good food and coffee and the price is reasonable.

Amazing ancient forrest. One of the few original beechwoods of Europa. With a great variety of trees and beautiful birds this place is prefect for a geetaway into nature

Beautiful park. Very nice trails. From Eisenach, the best way to get to the park is to go to Thiemsburg. The easiest way to get there is using the bus #150 from platform 4C at the Eisenach ZOB. The bus leaves every hour or so (the schedule can be found using the DB app if you put your drop off location as Thiemsburg).

If you are looking for a true hiking, this place is not recommended. But it is very family friendly and suitable for children. I don’t have a car but the connections were on time and nice. Although I have a student card for the public transport in the whole Thuringia, I had to pay for the bus. The tickets for the bus were a bit expensive (5 euros), and we also paid 7 euros to go to the bridges. We went to a hotel restaurant and asked for the wifi because there is no connection there, but they refused to give us the wifi although we were guests there and were ordering food.

A very beautiful place! Super positive energy there! I recommend to visit!)

Beautiful park deep in the woods. Very well done information area, with qualified personnel, eager to share information with us. Many bird species to be seen, even in the wintertime, which is usually not the best for wildlife tourism. The treetop bridge is the highlight, though maybe a bit overpriced (11 €, which also include a visit to the information center). Plus the park is very easy to find and a UNESCO Heritage site. Great way to spend a Sunday!

Education national park hainich

Nice park

Nice place to chill out at weekends with friends...✌️ Could have been better place if they have adventures games...

Wonderful place with awesome views

Amazing Scenery. What a environment!

Beautiful place for a Sunday walk 👌😊

Very nice and even better when you take a guide to get add information

The sky walk is a great way to get out into nature. All the major exhibits are available in several languages and do a good job of explaining the flora and fauna of the park. There are food and beverages available as well as lodging.

Great experience, especially at Herbst when colors are beautiful. Man needs four good Hours for good walk trout the Threes. Everything is nicely illustrated. The place is good especially for Family with Children. Children can enjoy in the View and they can a lot of things to discover. Beside "Baumkronen Pfad" is Natur museum for Children. That is a special place with a lot of cool things. The place is an absolute must to visit!

(Translated by Google) Simply great experience (Original) Einfach super Erlebnis

Wonderful place especially for children, the tree canopy walk and exhibitions really engage with the kids.

Wonderful place

Very calm and empty place with lots of small possibilities for small or big bites. A nice area for a day of hiking or two.

Nice adventurous park

Very clean and well maintained, but small and not very alive. Great idea, boring solution

Walk along the tree tops.

Peaceful

Es sah sehr gut aus,super angerichtet.Die Ofenkartoffel klein,Kräuterquark ein Esslöffel,Kirschtomaten drei halbe,war extra mit aufgeführt auf der Karte.Es hat ganz lecker geschmeckt,ordentlich heiß, aber diese übersichtliche Portion 17.00€?

Eine tolle Aussicht.. für jung und alt zu empfehlen.

Wildkatzenkinderwald? Wunderschön gemachter Kinderwaldspielplatz mit einigen schönen Ecken zum Entdecken, klettern und spielen.

Ein schönes Stück Natur, sehr lohnenswert

Gerade bei sehr warmen Temperaturen angenehm. Der Baumwipfel Pfad ist sehr empfehlenswert.

Wir waren zum zweitenmal da, zum Wandern. Wanderwege sind gut ausgeschildert und gepflegt. Wir werden wiederkommen. Ach für Kinder geeignet.

Mystisch und wunderschön!

Erg mooi, boomkronenpad hier gedaan en gewandeld

(Translated by Google) A dream for children of all ages, lots of opportunities to play and explore. Attention is always paid to the detail. Lots of information and performative stations invite you to discover and inform. You can easily spend a whole day here and the prices are more than fair. Great day spent here.

(Translated by Google) It was very beautiful (Original) Es war sehr schön

(Translated by Google) Very nice and quiet hiking trail. (Original) Sehr schöner und ruhiger Wanderweg.

(Translated by Google) Relaxation, pure nature, great views (Original) Entspannung, Natur pur, tolle Aussichten

(Translated by Google) Beautiful area. Whether on foot or by bike - also great opportunities for "discovery tours" with children. (Original) Wunderschöne Gegend. Ob zu Fuß oder mit dem Rad - auch mit Kindern tolle Möglichkeiten für „Entdeckertouren".

(Translated by Google) Very nice and entertaining. Is further recommended. (Original) Sehr schön und unterhaltsam. Ist weiter zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) To experience nature like this is wonderful. But many parents still have to learn to deal with it so that the children learn it accordingly. (Original) Natur so zu erleben ist wunderschön. Nur müssen noch viele Eltern lernen damit umzugehen damit die Kinder es auch dementsprechend lernen.

(Translated by Google) All facilities clean and well-kept, very nice staff. The path with its nature is just wonderful. (Original) Alle Anlagen sauber und gepflegt, sehr nettes Personal. Der Pfad mit seiner Natur einfach nur herrlich.

(Translated by Google) There is the treetop path which is very beautiful. And a forest promenade, a footpath through the forest. With several stations. Suitable for young and old (Original) Dort gibt es den Baumkronenpfad welcher sehr schön ist. Und eine Waldpromenade also ein Fußweg durch den Wald. Mit mehreren Station. Geeignet für klein und Groß

(Translated by Google) It was nice, but .... Many visitors don't wear masks. Signs that ask for this on the stairs and in narrow spaces are too small and are ignored by about half of the people. The operators don't care, there are no staff anywhere and even in the souvenir shop there are people without masks and no employee says anything. Irresponsible!!! (Original) War nett, aber.... Viele Besucher tragen keine Maske. Schilder die dazu auffordern n den Treppen und an Engstellen sind zu klein und werden von ca. der Hälfte der Leute ignoriert. Die Betreiber kümmert das nicht, nirgends Personal und sogar im Souvenirshop sind Leute ohne Maske und kein Angestellter sagt was. Verantwortungslos!!!

(Translated by Google) Very full because of vacation. Already 1 hour after opening there was hardly any parking space. Keeping your distance was mostly impossible as many visitors showed no consideration. Also, many did not take the mask requirement indoors. The treetop path is very beautiful and definitely worth a trip - therefore 5 stars anyway. (Original) Sehr voll, da Ferien. Schon 1h nach Öffnung gab es kaum noch Parkplätze. Abstand halten war großenteils unmöglich, da viele Besucher keine Rücksicht nahmen. Auch die Maskenpflicht in Innenräumen nahmen viele nicht wahr. Der Baumkronenpfad ist aber sehr schön und auf heden Fall einen Ausflug wert - daher trotzdem 5 Sterne.

(Translated by Google) Very nice landscape for hiking (Original) Sehr schöne Landschaft zum wandern

Sehr schönes Fleckchen Erde. Lohnt sich zu Fuß oder per Fahrrad zu erkunden

This lovely park has numerous amenities and breathtaking natural spots, offering us one of the finest trekking adventures we've ever enjoyed. We're deeply thankful to Sandy, who came to our rescue when we were stranded, even going the extra mile by giving us a ride home in her cool car. We truly appreciate her kindness.
