The Erlebnis Akademie AG (eak) is one of the leading providers (construction and operation) of impressive treetop walks and leisure activities which are close to nature, with natural and experiential education elements. It was established as a public limited company in 2001 in Bad Kötzting / Bavarian Forest and has been listed as m:access on the Munich stock exchange since December 2015. The barrier-free treetop walks, which are mainly made from wood, impress with their natural design and highest standard of architecture, constructed in a way which protects nature. The natural experience institutions in Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, France and Slovenia enrich the regions and fascinate visitors of all ages.
