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.

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.
