Entrance gates

The four gates to the heart of our nature

In several areas, the Grenspark is freely accessible between sunrise and sunset. The official entrance gates can be found at four locations.

These four entrance gates are often the starting point of hiking and cycling routes and visitors will find lots of information about everything the park has to offer. You will find facilities such as bicycle parking and a train station or bus stop nearby. Have even more fun choosing a different gate each time; Discover how different areas in one nature reserve can feel completely distinct from one another.

You can find the location and more info about the entrance gates on the map below.
