Fun To Do: Bungee Jump in Amsterdam
Next to the very popular canal cruises and walking tours, Amsterdam offers a brand new activity for you to view the beautiful city from a different angle: Bungee jumping! This is the first bungee jump in Amsterdam and currently the only bungee jump which is offered in the Netherlands. It’s located in the north of Amsterdam at the NDSM – a former industrial harbour. This bungee jump is even more special because you can jump off an old wharf crane!
A Little History
The crane was built in the 1950’s and has been a landmark of the shipyard in the NDSM wharf for decades. When the docks were closed in 1984 due to financial ruin, the crane was coming apart from rust. On the ground a creative and industrious vibe arose with warehouses and art galleries springing up amongst the harbour remains.
This is what the area looks like from the ground. It’s a super cool, industrial site.
The Most Unique and Sensational Hotel of Europe
In 2013, a new creative direction for the crane was found. Nowadays it consists of a broadcasting TV station and 3 luxurious hotel suites, one of which is located in the old engine room. That’s right, this harbor crane is now an exclusive hotel! On the roof of the crane is an outdoor jacuzzi, where the stunning view of Amsterdam and the river IJ can be taken in whilst relaxing in the hot water. This new and extravagant hotel is rated with a 8.5/10 on Booking.com and cost approximately 470 euro per room per night.
To realize this project, the derelict crane had to be dismantled and brought to another place for rennovation to meet the high hotel safety requirements. A funny fact is that the crane keeps spinning slowly in the wind to reduce its maximal wind load!
This is what is looks like to hang 50 meters above the ground.
