Hamburg: A large, 16 metre-long Viking ship lies near the<br />
river Bille in Hamburg’s Bergedorf district. Behind it lies a<br />
small settlem<strong>en</strong>t with typical dragon heads on the houses,<br />
designed to protect the Vikings’ homes from <strong>en</strong>emies. The<br />
ship has many sections for climbing, balancing and hiding<br />
both inside and outside, and was designed for older childr<strong>en</strong><br />
with role playing games in mind. You can hear their<br />
commands from a distance, suggesting a turbul<strong>en</strong>t seafaring.<br />
Two approximately 6 metre-long rope bridges connect<br />
the ship to a tower with a slide. The location of the tower<br />
on top of a hill ext<strong>en</strong>ds the l<strong>en</strong>gth of the slide and increases<br />
its appeal. The Viking house on the other side of the hill<br />
provides an option for differ<strong>en</strong>t, somewhat calmer play.<br />
Ev<strong>en</strong> accompanying people can find seating possibilities<br />
here, which can be used as baking tables too.
