Bungee jumping
Do you know what is rope jumping? So, bungee jumping is
almost the same, but you jump upside down from bridges or special cranes. It is
a rather popular activity in Ukraine for real fans of extreme. In Ukraine, you
can perform your first bungee jump right in the top cities like Odessa and
Kyiv. However, the height of the cranes to jump from is not large. The real
boost of adrenaline can be experienced by jumping from the bridge in
Kamianets-Podilskyi. The height reaches 54 meters making it the highest bridge
in Ukraine. The other rather interesting jumping solutions are located in
Zaporizhia, Dnipro and Pervomaisk.
Rafting
This extreme activity is also available in Ukraine. While,
rafting is usually held on the mountain rivers, in this country there are many
rivers with natural cataracts providing even better rafting experience for
adrenaline-addicted people. The extreme rafting is available on the Cheremosh
River in the Carpathian Mountains. You can buy rafting tours to this place online
or in different traveling agencies in Ukraine.
The Southern Bug River offers slighter cataracts, but still
not rather extreme. They are located on the territory of the National Nature
Park Bugskiy Gard in the settlement of Myhia in Mykolaiv region.
If you want to combine rafting and relaxing, you should do
to the Dniester River.
Parachuting
Haven’t you heard about skydiving? It is impossible, because
nowadays it is a kind of sports. However, even the professional skydivers began
their career with parachute jumping. To perform a jump with a parachute you do
not need special skills. A short training will be enough to prepare a beginner
for jump from 800-meters height.
Actually, there are many place to perform such a jump. As a
rule, these are the active air clubs, which train pilots of small aircrafts.
