When I was planning a trip to Sochi, Skypark was one of the main places I planned to visit. Of course, I didn’t intend to jump upside down, and even tied by my legs, but I had to tickle my nerves on the bridge, for which I was called a masochist by my husband))) To clarify the situation, I am terribly afraid of heights and all kinds of extremes, even on carousels and water I don’t ride hills : ), but for some reason I stubbornly climb somewhere...

The transfer from the Adler railway station is free, every 20 minutes during the May holidays. And we settled not far from the station in the Kaissa 3 * hotel, so you want it or you don’t want it, but you have to go.

The trip itself is a great pleasure - the roads are good, the views are fascinating. Here, for example, we pass by the airport.


The road becomes somewhat extreme after the exit from the main road, the asphalt is replaced by a concrete pavement, which has already been turned into crumbs in some places. It shakes a little, but it's fun. . . While you're looking around, you'll suddenly arrive

By the way, a trip to Skypark can be combined with a visit to the Akhshtyrskaya cave, it is nearby. Unfortunately, we figured it out too late, so this attraction has not yet been explored for us.

Skypark is an expensive pleasure.

And after all, there are crazy (in a good way) people who pay money for such "bullying". I won't jump even if I get paid, though. . . depending on how much)))

Watching the jumpers is a separate attraction. There are a lot of people who want to stare at the "crazy". Entire shows are arranged with applause, cheering, oohs and aahs.

Well, here is the "crazy" bridge itself. Handsome, of course!

I was going to take the first step for a long time. There are plenty of masochists like me out there. Some even left without going the distance. But I couldn't afford it. I did not pass, I ran))) The main thing is not to look down,

and on the sides. And don't think about anything!

Across the bridge there are “small offshoots where you can catch your breath, take a picture, let the oncoming traffic pass.

For example, it was eerie for me to disagree with people, the bridge itself is narrow, and the railings (how to put it... ) are somewhat spaced, that is, the side rails are tilted outward.

Not a single highly artistic photo with me turned out, I categorically refused to let go of the handrails. It is clear that if something does not help)))

The bridge has been crossed!

I'm even tired. To be honest, if it was possible not to go back over the bridge, I would have done so. But, alas, there are no ways of retreat - back, along the same paths...

If you are in Sochi, then Skypark is definitely worth a visit, if only to take a look at this marvel of engineering. Yes, and overcome your fears, too, will not hurt
