If you want to experience new sensations and spend an exciting weekend full of impressions and adrenaline, then you should visit the Norwegian park in St. Petersburg, or rather, not far from it (60 km), next to the Orekhovo railway station. Here, as many vacationers confirm, you can spend the whole day without even noticing how it flew.
let's get acquainted
For those who have little idea of ​​what the Norwegian rope park is, we are in a hurry to explain - this is a set of attractions made in the form of special artificial crossings located between trees at a height of 1.5 to 25 meters. We immediately inform those who are worried about the state of nature that such a park does not harm growing trees, therefore it can be considered environmentally friendly.
The crossings mentioned look like swinging logs, stretched nets, cable tracks or trolleys, and to go through them, you will need an excellent sense of balance, fearlessness and good physical preparation. But do not worry! For the safety of vacationers, at every crossing there are safety carabiners or cables that reliably protect your hands and feet from the need to subsequently wear plaster.
About the park and its scope
Arriving here, you will immediately realize how large the scale of this recreation area is. No wonder the official website claims that the Norwegian Orech park is the largest among the similar ones in Russia.
In total, there are 8 tracks and 130 stages that can satisfy the needs of a visitor of any age and a variety of physical fitness.
- The easiest tracks - “yellow” - are designed for children. On them, even small visitors, starting from the age of 4, will be able to try their strengths.
- Next in complexity are the “green”, which are also considered family. Both parents and children can feel great here.
- More difficult tracks - “blue” - called sports.
- And for the passage of the "red" will have to sweat.
- The most difficult track is extreme “black”, at the end of which you will experience an incredible sensation of test - free flight from a height of 13 m.
There is also a “zip-line” in the park - this path is suitable for everyone except the kids. Incidentally, he is most popular among visitors.
What is the best way to go along the slopes: tips for those who come to the Norwegian Forest Park
By the way, if you want to go through any of the proposed routes, you need to keep in mind that each has its own limitations. So, for example, your weight should be no more than 130 kg, and your height should be no less than 140 cm. If you decide to go the “black” track, then your height should be at least 160 cm.
The main condition for the successful conquest of tracks is gradualness. Both instructors and those who have already visited the Norwegian park convince you not to rush and not jump over difficulty levels. So you will be as prepared as possible and get a lot of impressions.
A bit about security
Before starting the journey, everyone will have to sign a paper on safety regulations, after which vacationers are given special climbing equipment and explained how to use it.
The Norwegian park is an entertainment facility, but you should not forget about caution. Employees take the safety of their visitors very seriously, so before starting an active rest everyone should go through a training track, and only after the instructor makes sure that everything is in order, one can begin to conquer the heights.
By the way, in order to prevent those who have accelerated on the descent from injuring themselves, green mats are mounted on the trees to mitigate a possible collision. And if you feel that the track is still too complicated, then friendly instructors will help you leave it and go down to the ground.
Rest in the park will never be forgotten
For very young children there is an excellent corner for games and entertainment. And for adults, the Norwegian park offers other types of recreation - volleyball and football courts are open for visitors, in addition, there is a picturesque lake nearby, and on its coast you can rent catamarans or kayaks.
By the way, in the park you can sit comfortably for a bite to eat. To do this, there is a local bar, as well as tables with benches and a spacious gazebo, where you can enjoy the stocked food. If you decide to spend a few days here, then at your service there are comfortable cottages.
Some tips for vacationers
In the end, I would like to give some practical advice to those who decided to go to the “Nut” rope park.
When going there, be sure to take care of convenient equipment. It is best to wear sportswear and shoes - this will greatly facilitate the passage of each track. In addition, do not forget that "Walnut" is in a real forest, which means that mosquitoes can bother you. Take along remedies against these annoying insects that can poison even the most interesting vacation.
When going to the attractions, remember also that you can enter there no later than 2 hours before it is completely closed, and people who are intoxicated are not allowed to go through the tracks.
