Description over Little Rock Lake Zipline

We have built an adventure park in Kronoparken

about 5 km north of Klavreström and about 2 km

from highway 31. We, who built the park are Jonas

Grahn and Håkan Blad, and we have had help of

many talented people.

We are open all year round

We are open daily under peak season with several

flights in the New Green/Blue, Black and the

Kamikaze course. Group bookings 8 pax in Black

and Kamikaze are available for booking every day

of the year except Christmas Eve and New Year's

Eve. In high season we are also open for drop-in

but reservations in our booking tool is always

recommended.

What is Zipline?

Zipline is simply a cable ride where you hang in a

harness and go on a wire. You go one by one on

the line between several stations. We take groups

of up to 8 guests, the groups are always

accompanied with two guides who are responsible

for your safety during the adventure. It is an

adrenalin-filled adventure with elements of high

altitudes and speeds in a very beautiful nature. You

start from the top of a mountain that is also one of

Smålands highest points. Further on you will pass

over the untouched Swedish nature with key

biotopes, canyons, streams and with a view over

four lakes. The maximum height is 52 meters

above the ground and the longest single zip is 427

meters with a maximum speed of 75km/h.

Operations of this type are governed by the

European norm and the Swedish standards and the

facility that is being built will be the first in Sweden

with design responsibility, and will also be the first

inspected by an accredited inspection body. This

type of adventure activities are popular, especially

in the South East Asia and America. In Sweden

there are some small courses and one larger

facility in Åre.

Description over New Green/Blue Zip – Family

friendly -

The New Green/Blue tour starts from the top of

the park, it is 1009 meters long spread over seven

stations. New Green/Blue course has three

laminated poles which are between 8 and 12.5

meters high. It also includes two high towers and

one platform in the trees. The ending is down on

the ground where the zipwire is attached to a huge

stone. The tour ends by a 250 meter beautiful

forest walk back to Basecamp. The highest point in

the New Green/Blue tour is 15 meters above the

ground. The adventure takes 2 hours, depending

on the size of the group. This adventure costs 850

SEK including loans of adequate equipment, safety

briefing and the company of two zipline guides

during the adventure. For children/youth under 18

it costs 400 SEK. We recommend that our guides

are responsible for the tandemzipping with

children as we know from experience that the

child's accompanying adult often needs to fully

concentrate on their own riding. All riders also

receive a Green tubular headwear. This is a safety

feature designed to prevent long hair getting stuck

in the pulley while zipping. This headwear,

decorated with our logo, becomes somewhat of a

trophy for those who have dared to go zipping.

They are not for sale, they are reserved only for

those who have the courage to go on the

Green/Blue tour. On this tour it is possible to

tandemzip with children from the age of five, but

only with one of our guides. Children from the age

of 10, or with a body weight of at least 35 kg, can

zip alone. It is possible that children can go tandem

with one of our Guides on all courses.

Description of Black Zip

The Black tour is an adrenaline filled adventure for

those who wants something extra. The registration

is done at the top of our Base Camp, where you

also receive all equipment. We are starting with a

25 meter walk over a suspension bridge at 17

meters above the ground to tower one where you

zip out to tower number two. Then we go for a

faster line with a fall of 24 meters on a distance of

370 meters, here you can reach a speed of 72

km/h. Between tower four and the 300 year old

tree we have the highest line, which is strained 52

meters over ground and 242 meters long. At the

tree we start from ground level and zip out to a

tower. Then back across the canyon at 20 meters

height. We zip over Sawcreek Canyon with wild

streaming water beneath us. After this we come to

a rock wall and climb 102 steps along a mountain

system of stairs. The 18 meter climb gets us up to

another tower. From this tower to a platform that

we have built in a gluampole with 388 meters

zipline to tower Rosenborg. From Tower

Rosenborg to tower 7 where we have the "Happy

Ending". This adventure is suitable for really brave

people and takes about 2,5-3 hours in a group of

eight people. It contains 11 stations and 1684

meters line. All riders also receive a black tubular

head wear which is also a safety feature to prevent

long hair from getting stuck in the pulley while

zipping. This headwear with our logo is a great

trophy for those who have completed the course.

These headwears are not for sale, they are

reserved for those who show the courage to go on

the Black Zip.

Description of Kamikaze Zip

Kamikaze Zip is pure awesome, a total of 2100

meters long and consists of 12 stations spread over

6 towers which are between 12 and 20 meters

high. We are going on the first four lines of Black

zip and then a shorter beautiful forest walk to

Overhang. From Overhang we zip 250 meters over

to Lazy Fir. The zip from Lazy Fir is 427 meters long

with top speed at 75 km/h. We are landing on a

cliff 20 meter above the ground and climb up

through a built-in 5 meters ladder to a higher cliff

there we have a 100 meters forest walk to tower 6.

From this tower to a platform that we have built in

a gluampole with 388 meters zipline to tower

Rosenborg. From Tower Rosenborg to tower 7

there we have "Happy Ending" for Black and

Kamikaze Zip. Three specially designed platforms

on a pole and two glulam poles that are eight

meters high in the middle of the wilderness. The

adventure takes 3,5-4 hours, depending on the size

of the group. This adventure will cost 1500 SEK

which includes loan of the equipment, safety

briefing and two accompanying zipline guides.

Children/Youths under 18 years old go for 750 SEK.

All riders also receive a red tubular head wear

which is also a safety feature to prevent long hair

from getting stuck in the pulley while zipping. This

headwear with our logo is a great trophy for those

who have completed the course. These headwears

are not for sale, they are reserved for those who

show the courage to go on the Kamikaze Zip.

Zipline over Sawcreek canyon from tower 5

Who can Zip?

We say that everyone between 5-99 years old can

zip. Minimum weight for a zipper is 35 kg and

maximum weight is 125 kg. A person who can walk

a short walk and then climb up two meter on a

ladder can zip. However we do not recommend

guests with any kinds of trauma or women who are

pregnant to go zipping. Should a participant weight

less than 35 kg, we can provide weight belts.

Is it safe to zip?

Little Rock Lake has a well pronounced safety

policy and all our zipline guides are doing a

prescribed training and only guides that are

approved after the training may serve in our park.

The company also has a documented risk analysis

for the entire organization and our guides are well

aware of possible risks that may arise in different

situations. All guides have also been under the

usual first introductions and are oriented in cardiac

resuscitation. The company has a safety

organisation for every known risk the park has

today. Our guests are not allowed to perform any

switching operations of the personal security

details, of course both our guides are responsible

for all technical management of the guest assigned

safety equipment. We follow all instructions in the

Product Safety Law and the facility is inspected and

documented before starting up every day. The

course is also inspected weekly and monthly by the

companies management.

Which time of the year can I go zipping?

You can zip all year round in almost any weather.

The only times you can not zip is when there are

very strong winds, thunder, snow storm or if there

would be a forest fire in the area, then we shut

down the park of safety reasons.

What to wear?

We always recommend forest appropriate

clothing. This means comfortable sports and sturdy

shoes or athletic shoes. Sandals, flip-flop, clog or

other open shoes are not allowed. If there is a risk

for rain you will have to bring your own rain gear.

We do not cancel during bad weather but we

provide goggles as an extra safety. All information

on how to be dressed or when it is otherwise not

possible to zip can be found in our terms and

conditions.

Are there other worthwhile attractions in the

park?

The observation tower on top

On top of the mountain there is a 20 meter high

tower with one of Swedens most beautiful views.

From the tower you get a clear day a mile wide and

an unobstructed 360 degree panorama with lake

Änghultasjöns wide waters mirror and the vast

forest lance foray which is fabulous. Certain times

of the year lake Änghultasjön is embedded in

complete fog and then you get a surreal aircraft

perspective of the area.
