Why the start changes with sunset

The forest experience lasts around three hours and is scheduled to begin three hours and thirty minutes before sunset.

The calendar calculates a start time for your selected date. The distillery checks it again before confirming.

Suitable shoes, comfortable clothing, water and sun protection are essential. Tell us about mobility requirements or relevant conditions before confirmation.

When weather, seasonal conditions or safety make the planned route unsuitable, the team may offer a different time, itinerary or date.
