The Triberg Waterfalls have expanded their visitor information services with a targeted digital initiative. In collaboration with Wedeko, a brand of Bütema AG, an outdoor digital signage solution was implemented to guide visitor flows while providing up-to-date information directly on site.
As one of Germany’s most famous natural attractions, the Triberg Waterfalls attract a large number of visitors. Consequently, there is a significant need for clear wayfinding and up-to-date information on opening hours, prices, weather conditions, and events.
Analog information solutions offered limited flexibility and could not be adapted quickly enough to changing conditions. At the same time, their exposed outdoor location placed high demands on visibility, weather resistance, and integration into the natural environment.
Wedeko developed a digital signage solution specifically designed for outdoor use. The focus was on a rugged, highly visible information kiosk that reliably displays content even in direct sunlight.
The goal was to create a central information area that visitors encounter as soon as they arrive and that helps guide them through the space.
A custom-built, double-sided 75-inch outdoor display stand with two screens was used. Its high brightness ensures excellent readability even in direct sunlight.
Because the displays face both directions, content can be viewed from different angles and effectively reaches passing visitors.
The content is managed through the content management system. This allows information such as opening hours, prices, weather updates, or events to be updated and adjusted at any time on short notice.
The design was conceived to blend seamlessly into the surroundings while also meeting the requirements for long-term outdoor use.
The digital kiosk significantly improves on-site visitor guidance. Guests receive up-to-date and relevant information exactly where they need it, allowing them to better plan their visit.
Thanks to centralized management, content remains up-to-date at all times and can be flexibly adapted. At the same time, the high visibility ensures that information is conveyed clearly, even during peak visitor times.
The project demonstrates how digital signage can be effectively utilized even in sensitive outdoor environments. The combination of robust technology, high visibility, and centralized control enables effective visitor guidance without disrupting the natural surroundings.
With this project, Wedeko sets an example for practical, durable outdoor solutions in the tourism sector.
