An incredible and creatively designed nature observatory called Camp Adventure is located about one hour south of Copenhagen, Denmark, in the preserved forest of Gisselfeld Klosters Skove. The forest itself is privately owned but open to the public until sunset and is home to water cliffs, lakes and wetlands. It’s also a hilly region, which is very unusual in the area.
High above the preserved forest known as Gisselfeld Klosters Skove in Demark, just one hour south of Copenhagen, is one of the coolest things humans have ever built. There is now a spiral treetop walkway that's connected to a connected to a 148-foot-tall observation tower. Now, you can see the world from the same view that the tops of the trees would have if they had eyes located in the tops of their branches that they could see out of.
The spiral walkway is called The Treetop Experience, because you can experience what the trees experience on a daily basis. If you want to go for a nice long walk, this is the place to do it. You'll pass by lakes, creeks, and wetlands, all while enjoying the magnificent beauty of the Gisselfeld Klosters Skove. If you want to get lost in nature, you've found the right place to do it. It's like something out of a fantasy novel.
The spiral walkway has two different routes you can take, the high route and the low route. The high route passes through the oldest section of the forest, where the trees are taller because they're, well, older. The low route and tower can be found in the younger part of the forest. No matter which route you take, you're bound to have an adventure that most people don't get, because they're not able to take any route.
The Observation Tower has been described as a structure with a "distinct, curved profile that is slender in the middle with an enlarged base and crown." There's a very good reason for this. For starters, it makes the Observation Tower a lot more stable, which is a good thing when you're so high up. It also allows you to have a larger viewing area, which means you can see more of the forest from your view.
The structure was built by EFFEKT, and they used 7,750 timber boards for the surface of the ramp. The boards were gathered from the nearby forests so that the ramp could match its natural surroundings. Unfortunately, trees don't grow in a spiral shape on their own. They also used corten steel in constructing the structure. The brownish color of the steel gives it a more rustic look, which makes it match the natural landscape even more than it does.
When they were building the walkway, they also wanted to make sure they didn't do too much damage to the natural landscape that they were trying to celebrate. EFFEKT wanted to preserve the environment as much as possible. What's the point of building a treetop walkway if it destroys the very same trees that you're supposed to enjoy? That would completely defeat the purpose of enjoying nature in all it's glory. We're glad they constructed it responsibly.
But if just the amazing spiral treetop walkway wasn't enough for you, there's plenty you can do in the area. Camp Adventure has several outdoor activities for people to do while they're visiting the amazing attraction. If you want to learn about the forest or if you just want to play in it, or do a little bit of both, Camp Adventure has got you covered. We're pretty sure that no matter what you do, you're going to enjoy it.
This manmade structure is absolutely incredible, and it makes us want to drop everything and head over to Denmark. But it's not the only manmade structure in the world that's worth taking a trip to visit. There are many other structures that have got us wanting to pack our bags and head over to see them. But not all of them offer amazing views of trees. In fact, some of them are actually just big trees themselves.
