]]> If you prefer active holidays and travelling you could come to Prague and try the first wind tunnel for parachute trainings and “flying public” in Central Europe. Thanks to four powerful fans you can fly in the only glass vertical wind chamber in the world. The chamber is located in Skydive arena in Prague – the capital of Czech Republic.

Skydive arena, Prague, Czech republic

It is designed for parachute trainings, learning the dynamics of free flight base jumpers and also for the general public. Those interested can try out what it’s like floating in the air and experience a sensation similar to free fall.

A circular flight chamber is made of safety glass. It has a diameter of 4.3 meters, so it can accommodate up to eight-member group. During normal operation of the chamber, there is only the “Flyer” and the instructor. The entire airspace is 14 meters tall, skilled individuals can fly up into a metal duct, which leads to the roof of the building. There is a metal grate with slats, guiding the flow of air to the fans. So you don’t have to be afraid of sucking into the propulsion system.

A flight in a wind tunnel is really an extraordinary experience. However there are missing some visual effects and adrenalin that you can enjoy during the jump from an airplane, of course, but on the other hand, the security risks associated with parachute jumping are eliminated here.

Basic package which contains two 90-second flights costs 1 500 CZK.

]]> Medieval Tavern Dětenice is really unique pub-restaurant in Europe. I suppose that you will not find such a great theme pub in any other European country. The tavern is located about 70km north-east from Prague, near the city of Mladá Boleslav.

Why you should visit Dětenice once you are in the Czech republic?

You can taste black or light beer of Dětenice and enjoy drinks with the medieval specialties prepared on an open fire. You have to prepare yourself that you need to eat with your hands. Dancers in medieval costumes dance on the tables. You will see swordsmen, beggars, fakir, juggler … Prepare yourself also for shocking and harsh environment of the medieval style!
