FAQ

FAQ

Can I do it?
We all have different abilities. Before deciding, you could visit the woods and take a look at the trails. Then you could see with you own eyes exactly what it is that you are dealing with. Unfortunately, you must decide and pay before heading out on the trail. Quitting is possible at the end of each trail.

What happens if I am left hanging from the rope or my strength fails me?
Where there’s a will there’s a way. If you feel like you really can’t go any further, then you should call the instructor, who will use special equipment to help you come down safely. Instructors are always nearby when customers are climbing on trails!

Can you quit half way through, if you are unable or afraid to continue?
Of course, all trails end on the ground. If your strength abandons you in the middle of a trail, then a trained instructor will help you down.

Why do I have to complete the first trail if I have previously visited an adventure park?
The first trail is a training trail and is mandatory for everyone. In the interests of safety the instructor must confirm that you are safe and you are following the safety rules. After completing the first trail, you can skip trails!

How long does it take to complete all of the adventure trails?
The time required to complete all of the adventure trails depends on your courage, physique, sense of balance and the number of people. Two athletic people will require approximately 1.5 to 2 hours; 10-15 people 2 to 2.5 hours; and a group of 20-30 people 3 to 3.5 hours.

Is it possible to climb in the rain?
Of course. Rain makes the trails slippery, although not more dangerous, since you are always secured to a safety rope across the entire trail. Rain adds spice for a true adventurer. Bring along dry clothes, a good mood and head out on your adventure!

What about a thunderstorm?
In the interests of safety, during a thunderstorm no one will be allowed out on the trails. A hazardous situation might occur with storm gusts, as well as a lightning strike.

Is climbing in shorts and open shoes permitted?
Closed shoes should be worn, otherwise there is the danger that they may disappear from your feet. Shorts do not present any sort of problem. Recommended clothing is something comfortable and sporty. Trails have even been completed in miniskirts.

What is night-time climbing like?
Night-time climbing is different from the daytime only in that your adventure is taking place in the dark. You will receive guidance, be supplied with safety equipment and forehead torches. Night-time climbing requires that a reservation be made 24 hours in advance and the size of the group must be at least 6 people.

Who keeps an eye on the children?
Minors must be accompanied by an adult, who keeps an eye on the child along the entire length of the trail – this can be done by climbing along with them or from the ground below. When climbing, a ticket must be purchased.

Do you provide catering?
We offer catering via our partners Toidupada, Tehvandi Sport Centre, and Hotel Karupesa. It is possible to use our campfire site along with grilling equipment.
