Seniors on Tour: Adventure in the Panarbora Nature Adventure Park!
ASG seniors' trip to Panarbora: Two days full of education, socializing and a breathtaking natural experience in Cologne.

Seniors on Tour: Adventure in the Panarbora Nature Adventure Park!
At the beginning of June, the seniors of Antonitersiedlungsgesellschaft mbH (ASG) had an unforgettable trip to Überdorf and the Panarbora nature adventure park, which gave around 25 seniors from the senior living houses the opportunity to gain new experiences. Accompanied by a dedicated social management team, the participants spent two days in a friendly atmosphere, which was characterized by valuable information and cozy encounters. A barbecue evening, opened by managing director Guido Stephan, created a warm atmosphere, while the discussions fostered new acquaintances and friendships. The event was not just about exchanging stories, but also about learning - a lecture on fraud by an expert provided those present with helpful tips on how to protect themselves from fraud.
On the second day, a trip to the impressive treetop walk in Panarbora was planned. Here the seniors were able to take a barrier-free walk and enjoy the wonderful view from the wooden structure. The treetop path is a highlight for nature lovers and visitors with less mobility who appreciate barrier-free travel. With a continuous height difference of around 4 m, the circular route offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Bergisches Land - a real treat for the eyes and a real experience in nature. What is particularly advantageous is that the path has a gentle gradient of less than 3%, which makes it easily accessible for seniors with walking aids. The structural details, such as the terrain and construction methods, are well thought out and help ensure that everyone can enjoy the beauty of nature unhindered.
Experience a piece of nature
The diversity of the Panarbora Nature Adventure Park is remarkable. The construction of the treetop path extends over three sections: the access structure, the circular path and the observation tower. This observation tower, supported by 24 glulam beams, opens a platform with a diameter of 12 m, giving visitors a fantastic view of the surrounding area. The sophisticated architecture ensures stability and safety so that all participants could enjoy the height without any concerns.
Such barrier-free trips are not only good for relaxation, they also play an important role in the quality of life of seniors. As an informant from the Pensionerwissen portal explains, barrier-free travel is a challenge for many seniors, where easily accessible means of transport, suitable accommodation and senior-friendly leisure activities are crucial. For seniors with walking difficulties, careful vacation planning is necessary to avoid inconveniences and to discover new places in a relaxed atmosphere.
Looking forward to future adventures
The seniors returned to Cologne with positive impressions and numerous new acquaintances. The anticipation for the next senior trip next year has already been aroused, and one hopes for further enriching experiences outside of the usual surroundings. Accessible trips like these demonstrate the importance of providing seniors with engaging and accessible leisure activities that meet their needs.
Overall, the ASG makes it easy for seniors to stay active and get involved in the community. Especially since the company is active in the Evangelical Church Association of Cologne and the region and therefore also has a strong social component. The combination of educational committees and leisure activities brings a valuable enrichment to the lives of the older generation in Cologne.
