First Settlement For Extreme Sports

Рубрика: Tourism Източник:   The European center for Extreme Sports is being built by the Russian “Center Region Group$ which bought a few years ago the rope-lift “Nezabravka” together with the chalet at the very ridge of Stara Planina. The project for extreme sports city belongs to the company’s owner Havaj Mitunin, and the consultant is his compatriot Valentine Zubov. The works on all facilities has been assigned to the Dmitriy Gusev’s “Extreme Style”. Officially the city of the extreme sports is bound to open in the beginning of May, when the active extreme event season is scheduled to start. At the moment however separate parts of the strange city grow almost unnoticeably. In the thick pine-tree forest near the first station an elastic green net has been installed. Its total area is almost 4 decares and the purpose is to ensure the safety of people who have ventured to live exciting moments. The rope-city is also a place for team-building. In case you have at least 7-8 employees in your company you could bring them here to unite the team, to see how trust is forged between your employees, how people who used to work next to another and used to play tricks on each other, come to change. The team-building is also rather suitable for companies having multiple offices, dispersed at different places and the employees from the different offices just don’t know each other.

  Sopot is indeed becoming a center for extreme sports. It all started with the paraplanerism, so we can reach to the point of creation of an European center for extreme sports. Havaj Mitunin brought this spirit of adventure to Sopot. But the connection between the Russian company and the municipality authorities is also very important, since every enterprise of ours has been backed by the mayor Veselin Lichev, explained Pepa Nankina.

  But what is exactly is done in the rope city? Using rope ladders the participants must climb no less that 7,8 even 18 meters. Then they must proceed from one place to another walking on special planks, but you will not be able to do anything unless colleagues and friends help. Only with the assistance of someone else you may proceed from place to place, explained Pepa Nankina. Children may also decide to test their skills and endurance – the facilities have been secured.

  Besides there is an instructor for each and every extreme event, who gives instructions and watches closely for any danger. One could easily reach the team-building spot by following a path, and then coming down from the tower to a wall for rock climbing. The wall is 12 meters high and through the ladder inside it one could reach the tower.
