Ready for a little adventure that’s just a bit above your comfort zone? Join us for a tour where we’ll start by conquering the skies (okay, maybe just your fear of heights) as we cross the brand-new, breathtaking bridge in small Hungarian town Sátoraljaújhely. And when we says "breathtaking," We don’t just mean the stunning views — we’re talking 700 meters long and 86 meters high! One from the world's longest two-way suspension bridge, which was opened to the public on June 2024 is waiting for you. But don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of liquid courage waiting for you on the other side! After you’ve bravely survived the bridge, we’ll descend (literally and emotionally) into the heart of the Tokaj wine region. A reward of the finest wines awaits – because nothing says "I survived" quite like a glass of Tokaj´s finest! So, grab your sense of adventure (and maybe an extra pair of pants, just in case ), and let’s sip, laugh, and dangle above the world together!
