A perfect place if you love outdoor experiences, accessible sensations and places where you immediately feel on holiday, on the water, in the air, with family or friends. And you, what will your next adventure be?
It is hard to imagine what awaits before arriving. Then, in just a few steps, everything changes. Dock 79 suddenly reveals itself, hidden within a natural setting, by the water and surrounded by trees. The noise of the road fades away, replaced by the wind in the leaves, the sound of laughter and the gentle splash of water. Here, a rare feeling appears immediately: being on holiday, even if only for a few hours.
Dock 79 is a multi-activity leisure park designed so that everyone can find their own playground. With family, friends, as a couple or in a group, you choose your adventure according to your mood of the moment. The fun and playful activities appeal to both children and adults, while more athletic visitors come here to challenge themselves and push their limits.
Among the highlights are unique thrill sports in the region: the water ski lift, which lets you glide across the water with a wonderful sense of freedom, and the treetop adventure course, where you can soar between the trees, suspended between sky and lake. Each activity brings its share of emotions, smiles and shared thrills.
One of the most memorable moments is simply arriving on site. The park is deliberately set apart, almost secret. Visitors leave an ordinary setting and follow a small tree-lined path. Then suddenly the landscape opens up: the lake appears, calm and luminous, surrounded by greenery. This striking contrast is an essential part of the experience. You slow down, breathe deeply and feel transported elsewhere.
The sounds play a key role in the atmosphere: the wakeboards striking the water, soft background music and bursts of joyful voices. Everything contributes to creating an atmosphere that is both lively and relaxing, where visitors instantly feel at ease.
At Dock 79, adventure is not limited to action. It also continues during moments of rest. The bar with an outdoor terrace, overlooking the water, becomes a natural gathering point. Visitors meet there to share their experiences, watch others glide across the lake or simply enjoy the shade of the trees.
This balance between adrenaline and relaxation is what makes the place so special. Some spend the day moving from one activity to another, while others alternate between thrills and peaceful moments, almost with their feet in the water. Everyone creates their own experience, without pressure.
Visitors often say that Dock 79 is a unique place in the region, somewhere where there is always something new to discover. Whether it is the first glide on the water, the hesitant step before launching into the trees or simply that feeling of freedom that gradually settles in, memories form naturally.
Dock 79 fits perfectly into a nature escape just a few minutes away from everyday life. An active and joyful break where visitors experience emotions at their own rhythm, surrounded by water, trees and smiles.
