Bungee Jumping in Belgium
-
Location and Facilities
-
Bungee cords are changed regularly. The 56m K2 Tower is just outside Liege, 90km from the capital city, Brussels. The tower is a large crane structure that has to be climbed before a jump can take place. Safety, understandably, is taken very seriously, with the bungee cord tested by an independent laboratory and changed every 250 jumps.
Prestigious Events
-
Belgium's championships are held at K2 Tower. As the only dedicated bungee jumping site in Belgium, K2 is also home to the Belgian Bungee Championships. The competition is open to everyone with the chance of a 200 euro prize (in 2010) and the glory of becoming champion of Belgium.
Opening Hours and Prices
-
The center staff can make a video of a jump. K2 is open only from April to October, on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.. If eight or more people are in a group, though, the staff may be able to arrange a special midweek opening. The price in 2010 was 74 euros, with an additional fee of 25 euros for a commemorative video. The center can be contacted directly at 011-43-660230 or info@k2tower.be.
