The true adrenalin

Those who love adventure and fun can enjoy a couple of adrenaline attractions that form a part of the Sky Walk, such as the hanging net, the “drop”, the spiral slide or the sleeve.

The sleeve is a thick net sleeve through which you can climb from one floor of the Sky Walk into another.
The drop is an attraction located at the very top of the Sky Walk and it is a net 50 m above the ground, on which you can stand and look down.
Braver visitors can go down through the wonderful 100-metre-long spiral slide with windows and several banked curves.

From the very top of the Sky Walk, you can enjoy breathtaking views over the whole massif of Králický Sněžník with the picturesque valley of the Morava river. In the distance, you can see the main mountain ridge of Jeseníky, the Suchý vrch and the Krkonoše mountains (the Giant Mountains).

Interesting facts about the Sky Walk

In total, to build the structure, 380 tons of steel, 300 m2 of glue laminated larch timber and 250 m2 of planed square timber were used. The larch comes from the Austrian Alps and it grows in the altitude of 1000 m above the sea level.
The tower is anchored by anchoring plates and micropiles, which go down as deep as 6.5 m into the rock massif.

The tower is resistant to a gale with a wind speed of up to 200 km/h.
If the wind conditions are favourable, the tower can host as many as 4,000 people, provided they are spread evenly.
On the top, the wooden path is suspended on steel rods measuring 600 m in total.

Architecture

The structure has been designed by Zdeněk Fránek, an architect who, since 2012, has been the dean of the Faculty of Arts and Architecture at the Technical University in Liberec.

To quote Mr. Fránek:

“What makes the structure unique given its dimensions is the extent to which it is made of wood. It is also unique in that it creates a new type of experience that lets people realise how small we are in the bosom of nature.
