- We're talking real adrenaline levels in a world-class zipline, says Peter Szabo at Little Rock
Lake Zipline outside Klavreström.
At the top of a 290 meter high mountain out in the forest is Little Rock Lakes Base Camp. Three different zipline courses start from here: the Red Kamikaze, the Black course and the Green course, which is the family-friendly option. At most you are 52 meters above the ground. The longest individual rope is 427 meters and there you can get up to 75 km/h - it's a blast!
It may seem dangerous, but ziplining is actually for everyone.
- We have had everything from 4- to 87-year-olds who have gone here and everyone has fun. Safety has the highest priority in all our activities, says Peter.
Little Rock Lake is one of the few ziplines in Sweden. The tracks take between two and four hours to get through. After each ride, the group stops in a tower, two guides are always there and tell you about what you see from the tower and about animals and nature in the area.
- We see moose, deer and golden eagles quite often. Part of our 2,500-hectare area is key biotopes, including a 300-year-old tree, says Peter.
For those who don't want to throw themselves into the air, there are softer adventures.
- We invest a lot in outdoor experiences, such as guided nature walks of various lengths. It is possible to fish in Lake Änghultasjön and the forest is full of berries and mushrooms. In our 17 meter high observation tower you can see far and wide, and on the tower there is a climbing wall.
On the wilderness deck in Base Camp, you can take a cooling dip in the four-meter-deep mountain pool and challenge yourself in water obstacles. For the children, there are also special activities such as the "don't touch the ground" track, cone throwing and nature bingo.
- Many come here for the environment, here civilization feels distant. We are in the middle of the forest, in real wilderness. Peace and quiet reign here, sitting by the 300-year-old tree and watching the sunset is magical!
