Wichtelpark Sillian

The “Wichtelexpress” sightseeing train takes everyone who is at the Familiennest program from the lodging to the various play areas. While there aren’t any elves at the wheel, our Nest supervisor Engelbert is there instead—he knows the park inside and out and is happy to give tips on what you definitely shouldn’t miss here. The two cars can accommodate about 50 children.

Tip: The Wichtelexpress can also be booked for parties and other events! If you’re interested, feel free to contact our Sillian Tourist Information Office by phone at +43 50 212 300 or by email at [email protected].

For the adventurous, there are 8 courses with varying levels of difficulty, some of which reach lofty heights (1.5 to 8 m). Courage and skill are essential, as 65 elementsand stations —including 12 zip lines —spanning a total length of 850 m require climbing, balancing, sliding, and maneuvering across a wide variety of rope and bridge structures.
After receiving your equipment, a detailed orientation, and completing a trial course, you can explore the high ropes course on your own. It is accessible to children ages 3 and up (Kids’ Course), or those at least 110 cm tall (Intermediate Course), and at least 140 cm tall for the Advanced Course. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Important: You must followthe instructions of the park staff at all times. Before entering the high ropes course, you must read, complete, and sign the terms and conditions. It takes approximately 45–60 minutes to complete the red course. Use is limited to 120 minutes.

The idyllic, sunny location alone is a true insider's tip for families. On the great riverscape adventurers can build canals, send ships off to the high seas or embark on the search for the treasured gold nuggets. Sun worshippers will get their money's worth on the specially set up lounging area and the entire family can satisfy their hunger with a joint barbecue at the grill area.
