Frequently asked questions

What age is this tour suitable for?

The tour is designed especially for primary-school-age children, but it also works well for younger and older kids. Let us know the children's approximate ages when booking so we can tailor the stories and pace.

Is the path up to Veste Oberhaus manageable with a pushchair?

The climb to the fortress involves steps and some steeper sections, so it is only partly suitable for pushchairs. We can adjust the route, or leave this part out, if that works better for your family.

What should we bring along?

Comfortable, sturdy shoes are a good idea because of the climb to the fortress, along with water for the walk. In sunny weather, a hat and sun protection are worth packing, since part of the route is outdoors.
