Fortune favours the brave: these are Hungary’s most thrilling adventure parks

Adventure parks are so popular because you can test yourself in extreme situations without putting yourself in real danger. You can feel like an extreme athlete, while in complete safety. You choose which tasks you want to try and are also assisted along the way. There can hardly be any more experience-filled recreation than this – it’s a great opportunity for exploring your own limits and creates strong bonds between members of a team. Each park has its own specialty, from the simplest rope and plank-based skill tracks to mind-boggling canopy slides. There are bobsleigh track and snow-donut slides that require less activity, as well as climbing walls, go-karts and paintball tracks that require serious skills. Here are a few:
