Reaching New Heights with the Rock Labyrinth and Flying Foxmonkeysandmountains.com /rock- labyrinth-f lying-f ox-nassf eld

I had never heard of a rock labyrinth before visiting the Nassfeld in Kärnten (Carinthia in English), Austria’s most southernstate. It was just one of several “firsts” during my stay at the modern yet natural four- star Falkensteiner Hotel and SpaCarinz ia. The first being an adrenalin pumping ride down the Summer Rodelbahn, which is basically a little car that youget into and then whiz down a mountain on a small track! I had also never heard of a free loading hotel guest until I metFlo: A Seven Year Hotel Guest Who Has Never Paid . So it shouldn’t have surprised me that a rock labyrinth was alsojust a short ride up the Milleniumsbahn (gondola) located just steps from the Hotel and Spa Carinz ia.

A rock labyrinth as I soon discovered was a path of sorts through gigantic boulders that you climbed on and over, whilewearing a harness for safety. Being an avid hiker and scrambler I loved this! It soon led us to the next challenge: theFlying Fox, also known as a z ip line. It wasn’t just one z ip line though, it was a series of z ip lines. I’ve been on myshare of z iplines, but these were by far the fastest z ip- lines I’ve ever been on. The padding on the landings was therefor a reason! Interspersed between the z ip- line were high ropes courses, where you had to navigate high in the treetops from tree to tree a series of rope challenges. I finished the course exhausted but exhilarated!

Fortunately our next adventure was less taxing and involved visiting the nearby Schaukäserei (cheese factory inEnglish). After my day of adventures on the Summer Rodelbahn, Rock Labyrinth, Flying Fox and High Rope Course, Iwas ready for the eating adventure of sampling home made cheese. It was delicious.

Although I had had an incredible day full of new adventures, I had just scratched the surface of all the adventures to behad in the Nassfeld – hiking, climbing, mountain biking…I need to go back and reward myself with one of the spatreatments at the Acquapura SPA at the Hotel and Spa Carinz ia.
