People who live in big cities need to take a break from the constant hustle and bustle at least once in a while. Retire in nature with family and friends. Many do just that, go on picnics. This kind of vacation wears off very quickly. Although it is much more interesting than sitting in apartments, it is still monotonous. You can somehow diversify your daily life with active recreation, which is much more exciting than sitting in a clearing, even over a juicy barbecue.
Relax in a new way
But not everyone can afford a trip to the mountains or to a sports base. And not only because such trips are expensive (after all, you need to hire an instructor, buy some equipment), but also for other reasons. For example, if there are children in the family, you cannot leave them alone at home or at the base, and it is very dangerous to take them with you to the mountains.
Therefore, savvy entrepreneurs have long come up with an interesting entertainment for lovers of outdoor activities with the whole family - a rope town. Many probably guessed by the name that he is himselfrepresents. Lots of stretched ropes, nets to climb or climb. There are facilities that are more suitable for children, and there are complexes for real extreme sports. They include hundreds of obstacles, hundreds of meters of suspended walkways and bridges and similar structures. Let's take a closer look at what a "decent" rope town looks like.
Setting up a rope town in Orekhovo
As a rule, these complexes are located near the city, where there are parks, reserves or natural forest. This is done mainly so that, in addition to entertainment, people can breathe fresh air. If there are mountains or rugged terrain near the city, then this area can be taken as a basis. In the absence of such conditions, the presence of trees will be sufficient, between which suspended logs, cable cars, ladders and other devices are placed. Also, to overcome some places, you will need unusual vehicles: trolleys or rope bikes.
According to the complexity of the obstacles, the tracks can be divided into children's and adults. Regardless of the type of track, they are completely safe. An example is the sports base in Orekhovo. The rope town here meets all safety standards. Competent instructors are hired for this, but the basis, of course, are carabiner systems, safety cables, in some cases mats and tension nets.
There are also rope towns where there are climbing walls and icedromes. For those who like structures where you need to climb andclimb rocks, special climbing equipment and ice axes are issued. As a rule, there are also bike trails, the usual areas for sports recreation and various competitions.
Let's take a closer look at several of these towns in Russia.
