A 560-foot-long trampoline road\/walkway that was actually build just so that people can have fun. Imagine being able to jump your way down the road or to work? Must be incredible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently, a group of talented Estonian architects at <em>Salto<\/em> designed and built a trampoline road that runs though a Russian forest, called Nikola-Lenivets. Seems like trampoline building is becoming quite the trend, remember the virtual<a href=\"https:\/\/travelstartstg.wpenginepowered.com\/imagine-a-trampoline-bridge-across-the-seine\/\"> trampoline<\/a> bridge across the Seine in Paris we featured recently?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bouncy road &#8211; or <em>Fast Track<\/em> &#8211; was built for entry into an emerging architecture festival called Archstoyanie. \u201c<em>Fast Track<\/em> is a road and an installation at the same time,\u201d the designers explained. During the time of the festival, the architects invited people to try the walkway for themselves. They even held different activities on the trampoline to showcase what kind of thing you could do and couldn&#8217;t do on a trampoline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The architects added: \u201cIt challenges the concept of infrastructure that only focuses on technical and functional aspects and tends to be ignorant to its surroundings. <em>Fast Track<\/em> is an attempt to create intelligent infrastructure that is emotional and corresponds to the local context.\u201d That it certainly does.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1671342-slide-fast-track-nikita-shohov3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I really feel inspired by this idea and can only imagine how much tourism this will attract. It also looks like great exercise &#8211; and fun of course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I won&#8217;t even dare to think what is next. Perhaps swimming to work?
