Safety information

During the ride

Please stay in your chosen seat during the ride. Our train is no high-speed express and doesn’t glide over the rails :-)

Please don’t stand up or lean out of the carriage. Please make sure your children know this too.

Our staff look after the safety of all guests. Please help us make it a great visit for everyone.

In the moor

Please do not enter the site outside opening hours. During opening hours, the area from the car park to the station with our moor kiosk is open to visitors. Beyond that, please only enter the site together with a member of our staff.

During the moor tour, please keep yourself and your children with our staff – this is an active moor and also a protected nature reserve. Please wear sturdy footwear for your visit.

Please do not let pets run free on the site.

Our information is intended to ensure a safe, relaxing and informative visit. Thank you!
