Wirbelbaum
The Wirbelbaum is an adventurous Ferris wheel in the Wunderwald. You take your seat in a little basket hanging from the branches of a giant tree.
The concept
The Wirbelbaum was built by Metallbau Emmeln and has been in the park since 2005. The baskets hang from the branches and can spin around on their own.


The Experience
As you spin, you climb a little higher each time, until you're looking out over the Wunderwald from a height of thirteen metres. A ride lasts two and a half minutes.

View
From 13 metres up, you look out over the Wunderwald.
For everyone
There's no minimum height: under 1.20 metres, you ride with a supervising companion.
Visitor information
From 1.20 metres you can ride on your own; smaller children must be accompanied by someone aged 16 or over. The maximum weight is 250 kilos per basket and shoes are compulsory. There's a high step to get in. According to the calendar, the Wirbelbaum will be closed on 16 December 2026.


Literally up the tree
The Wirbelbaum is a fun ride for the whole family: gentle if you like, adventurous if you dare. Because it's indoors, you can ride it in the rain too. Combine it with the Karussell and Villa Fiasko.
