The Uber Zip Line

23 AUG 2013 - Just outside the town of Grobming, Austria is a 1.5 mile long zip line. This just sounded too fun to pass up! Cody, Kjersti, and Eli all boarded a bus, drove to the top of the mountain and prepared themselves for this excellent experience!

Grobming, Austria

 The zip line is fairly new having opened up earlier in 2013. Before you jump on, they give you a set of briefings, make sure your harness is on correctly and the lock you on to the line.

 Then you are off!

The first leg of the ride is really long, but amazing!

Given the less you weigh, the slower you go, Eli was the last one in our group to make it down the first part of the line. Way up in the distance behind him you see the starting point.

The second part of the line is really fast! They say you can reach speeds of about 55 mph! Very cool!
