August 3, 2025, Adventure Playground at Untreusee

The pirate playground at Untreusee is one of the largest and most popular playgrounds in Hof. The redesigned playground, featuring a pirate ship and adventure trail, reopened in May 2025. All little adventurers can climb, swing, hang from the ropes, and, of course, zip over the beach debris on the cable car.
