Architecture studio EFFEKT has designed a walkway to take hikers and Instagrammers to new heights above a forest in Denmark. The idea is to offer bird’s-eye views of the area without disrupting the environment.
The centerpiece of the construction is set to be a winding observation tower, topping out at about 150 feet (45 metres). The hourglass-like construction should rise in a luscious preserved forest an hour south of Copenhagen, in Glisselfeld Kloster, Haslev. It consists of a 2000 ft. (600m) internal ramp, which will take visitors from the forest floor, through the treetops culminating with a 360° view of the hilly landscape, characteristic for the region.
The structures that make up the route towards the tower have been split into two sections: the high walkway will extend past some of the forest’s oldest trees, while the lower path will swirl its way through the younger areas.
The one-of-a-kind project is expected to be finished in 2018.

"My fantasy puts your reality to shame." Pure clickbait. When they & if they actually finish this, you can crow about it. As of 2017, this thing doesn't actually exist.
We have something similar around here http://www.baumwipfelpfad-ebrach.de/
Denmark is great, like it comes from outer space, but 7 Euros (8.20 USD) for a beer... Hmmm!
Kind of funny to plan to build this in Denmark when the country is mostly rugged coast rather than forrests. :-D But Denmark is not far from where I live. Once they finished this photoshop vision I'll visit.
WOW what an awesome walkway. I'd love to try this one. Seats would be a great idea for the seniors!
I would yell"CAW CAW" and make bird noises the whole time.Now that I think about it I shouldn't be aloud outside
So they're killing thousands of trees and building things out of the wood that they have to look at the trees that they haven't murdered how many trees you think is in that platform they made ten thousand maybe a million I find it ironic that was supposed to be enjoying trees with killing them
A million trees? not by a long shot. Plus trees for construction is planted for that purpose - same as tress for paper. No one is chopping down rain forest or old trees to build this. This is a civilized country.

Wood is a renewable resource when harvested responsibly. Personally I don't care to live in a cave.
