This natural adventure experience will be constructed by EFFEKT Architects in collaboration with Camp Adventure.

Text description provided by the architects.

Set in the historic Gisselfeld Klosters Forest, a glacial woodland characterised by rolling hills, ephemeral streams, lakes, wetlands and meadows that offers a changeable landscape experience, influenced by the rich bird life and the seasons. This experience features a 900 metre elevated boardwalk, zigzagging in and out between the trees, culminating in a 45-metre tower with a 650 metre-long inner spiralling ramp, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and nature.

The idea behind the elevated boardwalk leading to the tower is to make the forest accessible to everyone without disrupting the natural environment, which is a habitat to a wide variety of species living in harmony with nature. To achieve this, the tower was constructed from weathered steel and locally sourced oak, to blend in subtly with the surrounding natural context.

The spiralling ramp to the observation deck also benefits from the hyperbolic shape. While keeping a fixed gradient, the geometry and spacing of the ramp fluctuate according to the changing curvature. The ramp becomes a sculptural element that makes the journey to the top a unique experience of shifting intimacy while offering step-free access to all visitors.

Camp Adventure’s Tower will offer a unique nature experience, not found anywhere else in Scandinavia. The tower's top platform is 140 metres above sea level and the highest accessible point in the whole of Zealand. In clear weather, there is an unobstructed view 50kms to Copenhagen and Malmo in the north and the rugged Southern Zealand manor landscape to the south and east.
