Rope Park

The Rope Park in beautiful surroundings of the Punkaharju resort is a new place that many fans of active family holidays can visit with pleasure. Uncharted trails for children and adults will not only let you experience your strength and courage but also give a dose of incredible adrenaline.

The Rope Park is a whole complex of fascinating routes, which are located between trees in the forest and partly in the territory of the famous aqua park of Kesämaa. The four tracks have different degrees of complexity and a varying number of obstacles: ropes with nodes, wooden bridges over the gaps, “spider nets”, lianas and barrels. There are children’s, family, amateur and sports routes for any taste. Their total length is more than one kilometer. Just imagine that scale! Depending on the complexity, individual sections have different lengths. All rope routes have their own markers of difficulty.

It is a new park and great attention has been paid not only to the opportunities spending fun active time with the whole family but also to safety issues. All our fastening systems are high-class. Under all the children’s tracks there are nets that catch the kids safely in the event of a fall. The cost includes not only full equipment but also detailed instructions.

The Rope Park is the ideal place for those who love positive emotions and active pastime with the opportunity to test their endurance and resourcefulness.
