Panarbora is the name for a nature adventure park that opened in September 2015 on the outskirts of Waldbröl in the Oberbergischer Kreis .

The name Panarbora is made up of the Latin word for tree "Arbor" and the Greek "Pan" , the shepherd god and god of the forest and nature in Greek mythology.

The operator has been the Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk Landesverband Rheinland eV (German Youth Hostel Association) since 2015. The initiators and idea generators were Olaf Wirths and Anja Braun. The "Naturerlebnispark Nutscheid " project was selected as one of the winning projects in a competition organized by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia for infrastructure and tourism development at the beginning of 2008. In 2008, the non-profit nature experience Nutscheid GmbH was founded to implement the project. The cost of the park amounted to 13.7 million euros.

The park has a 1635 meter long treetop path up to 23 meters high and a lookout tower . This 40 meter high observation tower has a viewing platform 34 meters high. A total of 700 cubic meters of wood was used.

There are five tree houses, three villages with four huts each and a family and seminar house available for overnight stays. The adventure location would like to offer a diversity of environmental and adventure education and also provides a nature adventure academy with further training and seminars. A forest path leads around the area, which is intended to appeal to the senses of the visitor, a play tunnel challenges the tactile, a maze of hedges challenges the sense of direction. There is also an adventure playground for children. The sound of nature can be found in the surrounding oases of calm.
