TUNNEL
ABSEILING

TOUR THE UNDERGROUND
WITH NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

In this tour we visit the 550-meter-long underground World War II fortress and offer you the opportunity to try abseiling – descending a rock face with a rope.
The fortress remained unfinished and is therefore a unique combination of architecture created by both man and nature. And that is not all. Until a few years ago, this building was forgotten and hidden. It was only recently discovered, put to rights and equipped for visitors.
Depending on the difficulty level of the abseiling you want to try and you feel comfortable with, we offer this tour in 2 versions: Abseil and Abseil Plus.

ABSEIL

Included is a tour of the underground fortress San Giovanni and abseiling in one and/or two ways with variations in difficulty. The easier variant involves a walking descent down a vertical rock. After it, the descent can be repeated in a slightly more difficult variant – with a vertical jump. Both methods are suitable for beginners without previous experience, and are executed with help and backup of our instructors.

We start tour with an introduction to the abseiling technique and familiarizing ourselves with the equipment. This is followed by an exercise on a horizontal surface and a descent demonstration.
After equipping ourselves, we descend the vertical natural rock and enter the high underground rooms built in concrete. We begin our walk through the fort accompanied by special effects. At the end of the tour, we have prepared a special audio-visual surprise that will take us back in time. And for the bravest, there is another challenge – turning off the head torches and finding the way out in pitch darkness. We end the tour socializing and chatting with a glass of wine.

ABSEIL PLUS

This tour is an extended version of the previous one and includes another abseil. In addition to the first two descents, there is also a descent on the cascading rock inside the fortress. Since that rock is a bit uneven and slippery, the descent is somewhat more demanding. Participants can prepare for this descent by executing the first abseils with the backup of an instructor. In this way, the feeling for the technique and sense of security are gradually acquired. On this tour, you can also try a simultaneous abseil in pairs. IMPORTANT: for this tour hiking shoes with non-slip vibram soles are mandatory!

Regardless of which abseil level you want to try, please note again that no previous experience is required for any of them, that each is executed with professional support and guidance of our experienced licensed instructors, and that each participant can decide on the spot which descent they want to execute based on their own level of comfort.
We start both tours with an introduction to the abseiling technique and familiarizing ourselves with the equipment. This is followed by an exercise on a horizontal surface and a descent demonstration.
After equipping ourselves, we descend the vertical natural rock and enter the high underground rooms built in concrete. We begin our walk through the fort accompanied by special effects. Since the facility was built on two levels, there is another abseil for the participants of the Abseil Plus tour. At the end of the tour, we have prepared a special audio-visual surprise that will take us back in time. And for the bravest, there is another challenge – turning off the head torches and finding the way out in pitch darkness. We end the tour socializing and chatting with a glass of wine.
At the end of the tour we’re transported back to the starting point in a comfortable air-conditioned van.
