View of the Skywalk Willingen

Highlight • Bridge

The view of the Skywalk from afar is quite unspectacular, no, it's not a power line, it's a really great bridge over the valley and it's definitely worth walking over.

Two days before I was due to go to Warburg, I read an article in the newspaper that

We had originally planned to take the funicular up to the Mühlenkopfschanze ski jump and then walk across the Skywalk. But unfortunately, things turned out a little differently. Along the way, we received news that the funicular was broken and therefore unable to run. So we had to climb the approximately 110 meters up the stairs. Once we reached the …

It was freezing -1 degrees, but it felt like -6 degrees because of the strong wind.
The bridge climb is definitely worth it, €11,- p/p

Short hike over the new, spectacular suspension bridge at the Willingen Mühlenkopfschanze ski jump (opening: July 1, 2023).
At 665 meters, it is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Germany and the second longest FHB in the world.

Today I'm taking you on the Skywalk adventure.

At 665 meters, it's Germany's longest suspension bridge (for people - unfortunately not for bicycles).

I'll show you a few "special" angles and details you may not have seen before.

Skywalk Willingen the day after the opening.
A short walk from the parking lot is rewarded with thrills and a wonderful view.
665 m long and 100 m high. I think the €11 entrance fee is worth it. 👍
