The concept

You sit in a gondola attached to a tower and pull yourself up with a rope. The harder you pull, the faster you rise. Each gondola seats two people, so you can pull together or race against another gondola.

The Experience

Once you reach the top, the gondola turns all the way round once, giving you a view over the Wuze Tal. After that you gently descend. Your legs dangle freely during the ride. The combination of height and spinning can make you a little dizzy.
