케이프타운의 커스텐보시 국립식물원 공중 산책로 Aerial Walkway in Cape Town Allows Visitors to Take a Surreal Stroll Above the Trees(VIDEO)





남아공 케이프타운의 커스텐보시 국립식물원 공중 산책로


방문자들이 나무의 꼭대기를 보면서 걸을 수 있으며 놀이기구처럼 

여러가지 형태로 굴곡져 있다.


산책로 중 130m에 달하는 스네이킹브리지는 뱀의 골격에서 

착안했으며 사십만불의 개인기부금에 의해 2년에 걸쳐 만들어졌다.


사람들은 마치 천국을 걷는 기분을 느끼게 된다.

This surreal walkway recently installed in Cape Town, South Africa, creates a meandering, aerial path that allows visitors to stroll through the treetops. The steel-and-pinewood Kirstenbosch Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway begins on the forest floor, gradually sloping upward and eventually elevating guests to a spectacular vantage point above the canopy. From the heights, guests can witness the South African forest in all its glory — and in all kinds of weather. Sometimes, visitors must bring umbrellas to walk through the clouds and fog engulfing the lofty canopy. Benches placed periodically along the walkway offer ideal spots to take in the beauty of a sunrise or sunset while suspended in the atmosphere.

The snaking bridge, inspired by the shape of a snake skeleton, measures 130 meters long — the equivalent of about 1.5 football fields. It was built over a period of two years with about $400,000 of private donations. By carefully hoisting the prefabricated steel beams over the canopy, the builders were able to give people an amazing new way to appreciate the forest while causing minimal disturbance to the natural environment.
