A tropical Shorttrip

Tropen-Aquarium Hagenbeck

For the 100th anniversary of the Tierpark Hagenbeck in 2007, an 8000 m² adventure aquarium right to the entrance area of ​​the Hamburg Zoo opened. The Tropen-Aquarium continues the tradition of the aging Troparium in a new place. The entrance fee for the tropical aquarium can be paid individually or in combination with the animal park Hagenbeck.

Admittedly, the fort-like building looks neither impressive nor very large from the outside, but the inner values can ​​convince from the first second when entering. The consistently high-quality design runs through the three theme lands of tropical world, cave world and underwater world, whereby the transition is always fluently and almost perfect in every way.

The starting point is the wonderfully designed Madagascar village square, where ring-tailed lemurs and lorikeet can move freely through the visiting crowds. In the adjacent biotopes you can observe numerous species of reptiles and other animals of different continents. Via a wooden staircase, the path then leads down into the depths of a mine. Especially the bat enclosure is very impressive, even if you can not bear the stench for long. Shortly thereafter, you find yourself in a deserted village where the most venomous snakes in the world have found their home. Then you enter a submarine, after which you will find yourself in a large aquarium. This is quite similar to a local Sea-Life aquarium. The Great Shark Atoll features a truly large pool.

Conclusion Tropen-Aquarium Hagenbeck

The Tropen-Aquarium is a great place to visit on one of the city’s numerous rainy days. It can be bundled with the Tierpark Hagenbeck, but it is also a worth visiting attraction on its own, where you can spend up to three hours easily. In contrast to the animal park next door, the design of the facility is consistently thought-out and manages to amaze almost in every corner. The animals seems to have a great life in their rather large enclosures

Odenwaldbob (2016)

itemprop="discussionURL"0

On my way back from Stuttgart to Hamburg I stopped with all my belongings at the summer toboggan run Wald-Michelbach, which was somehow on the way. The Odenwaldbob can hardly be overlooked on the way there, after all, one winds up the mountain halfway parallel to the Kreidacher Höhe.

In a slightly sloping right turn you leave the station and pick up some speed on a straight line. After a short left-hand bend, you now cross a country road and, after a drop, plunge directly into a left-hand roundabout. At full throttle, you now make several small right/left turns and immediately after that a wide right turn. After a left-hand bend, the ride continues downhill at high speed via several jumps parallel to the lift hill of the ride. After a short left turn, a right turn follows in a slightly serpentine fashion, which then merges into the second roundabout of the ride. This releases you into a wide right turn parallel to the slope, which then releases you into two hairpin bends and shortly afterwards into the braking section. This is followed by the return to the station.

Although the track is consistently equipped with brake swords of different materials resulting in different braking effects of the magnetic brakes on the bobsled, the ride on the Odenwaldbob is consistently fun and you never really had the feeling of being too slow, especially compared to conventional rides with centrifugal brakes on the sled like the Trapper Slider at the Fort Fun Abenteuerland amusement park. The 1000m long downhill run has a good mix of different elements, which makes it dynamic until the end and therefore a lot of fun.
