The willow playground is located along the Thernbachgraben on the path between Unterthern and Oberthern. Embedded in the willow crops, vineyards and fields, the natural play area is one of the most lovingly designed leisure oases in the Schmidatal Landscape Park in the municipality of Heldenberg.

With a natural pond, a pavilion and a play tower, children have plenty of opportunities to run around and explore. The willow hill offers willow hideaways to play in and a young orchard invites children to snack. Children are immersed in a mixture of nature, creativity and exercise. From crafting with willows and climbing to discovering nature and the surrounding area.
