Walk - Mežakaķis Adventure Park, second visit

I already wrote about the "Mežakaķis" park, so this time it'll mostly be pics. In short: doing all the trails last time was insanely hard for me, and on the black one I skipped half the obstacles. And after finishing I could barely walk. This time I only skipped one; at the end it was, if not that easy, then completely tolerable. And after the fun ended, a couple of hours later, there wasn't much fatigue, I could go climbing again.

Next time I'm thinking of doing the "white" trail instead of the black one at the end, it's supposed to be even harder. And, of course, not skip a single attraction.

Further on, the park begins

Three people – two women and a man – stand at a counter in a room resembling an equipment rental point for an adventure park. They are looking at and holding climbing harnesses and ropes; in the background, a banner with the name "Piedzīvojumu parks Mežakaķis" can be seen. 

Picking up the gear

Two women stand behind a wooden registration desk against the background of wooden shelves with souvenirs and cat figurines.

The girls are registering us

A model for those who don't yet realize what awaits them

A group of people stands with their backs to the viewer on top of a green grassy hill, admiring a panoramic view of a dense forest under a clear blue sky.

These are idle nature lovers

And these are the tough conquerors of lianas

There's also a cafe in Mežakaķis

A pleasant wooden sign

Training trail

 Three people in safety harnesses stand on a wooden platform by a birch trunk, attaching carabiners to stretched cables. Behind them, a blue sky with green foliage is visible.

Practicing

So as not to fall off the real one

The day is in full swing

You have to be careful

 Two men in safety harnesses go through a rope park route on a sunny day. One smiles, hanging in the air on a rope, and the second stands on a wooden platform; a house and a red car are visible in the background.

Training is over, next is the green trail

 A smiling young woman in gloves and with a safety harness walks along a rope bridge above the ground in a rope park among trees.

It's all simple here, you can relax for now

Comfortable, like in a hammock

Up we go

Not so low anymore

 A person in a safety harness stands on a wooden platform attached to a tree, holding onto a rope. A rope ladder leads down, and all around is dense green foliage and a wooden ladder visible in the distance.

But still easy for now

And above your head - people

 People in safety gear go through an obstacle course in a rope park among a green forest. A man stands on a wooden platform attached to a tree, and a woman moves along a suspended element.

Not everything is so simple

Everyone likes active recreation

Even sticking their tongues out from happiness

But balancing isn't easy

This, comrades, is a torture machine

That's the way it goes

Never a dull moment

Me, finally

The most fun part is ziplining down the cables

One good pic came out (not mine)

Actually, even two
