Interlaken: Rope Park between Heaven and Earth

06/30/07 | by admin [mail] 105 views   | Tags: Switzerland

A fairy-tale rope park has been created in a patch of forest adjacent to the famous Unspunnen meadow at Interlaken, Switzerland. The park offers wonderful soft adventure activities for the young and the old.
Dozens of 40 to 50-meter-high pine trees are connected via hanging bridges, ropes, nets, and pulleys. About fifty trees are surrounded by platforms made from indigenous wood. These platforms are installed at different heights, and are connected with each other through a variety of wooden bridges that all differ in length. Local carpenters and mountain guides were called to build these structures. The park features five different routes with varying levels of difficulty. This way, you may decide on the spot how much excitement you're ready to take. The equipment is, of course, the latest, and park operators are all well trained.
