Ready to really test your balance? In this unique swamp trail you will make your way over bridges, swinging poles, hanging nets and other tricky obstacles.
Everything takes place above the water in a swampy forest full of surprises. One wrong step and your shoes – or yourself – disappear right into the depths.
But don’t panic: fortunately, the swamp is not bottomless! You can stand anywhere and easily get to the bank after a few steps. At the end, a refreshing fountain awaits to clean everything (and everyone).
There are two routes: an easier course for those who want to explore quietly, and a more difficult version for those who don’t shy away from a challenge. Thus, each participant chooses their own pace and level of difficulty.
Young or old, athletic or less athletic, everyone can push their limits here, or just have fun ending up in the water. And yes, you can keep your feet dry … but it is the exception rather than the rule.
The swamp course has been a favorite with youth groups, schools, families and groups of friends for years. Not only because it offers adventure, but also because it creates hilarious scenes.
Whoever manages to brave the swamp dry deserves eternal glory. Or at least a dry towel.
Balance artist over the swamp … or is it? These photos prove it: Fun > dry socks.
