So I just learned about these wonderful places, translating to something like "climbing park" all over Western Europe. I have also seen them translated as "suspension rope park". Basically you pay to act like a monkey; climb up near the forest canopy and swing from tree to tree.

A group of us went to one just over the border in Germany, check it out here: http://www.erlebniskletterwald.de/

After we geared up and watched a demonstration, we were set free on the park. There are several different courses on this one and naturally we tried them all. My personal favourite was probably the one with a series of zip cords, but they were all a lot of fun. The price is pretty good too and includes the equipment rental and safety demonstration. Our instructions were given in German though but luckily I had my trusty translator by my side.

It was a fun day out and a good workout!
