Conclusion: ultimate adrenaline rush
The bungee and freefall together form the spectacular grey route in the climbing forest, a special course for real thrill seekers!

Both parts are safe but give an intense feeling of excitement and freedom. Participation is possible from 11 years and 1.40 metres. Available in Apeldoorn, Bergen op Zoom, Lage Vuursche and Ruurlo.
