In New Zealand and Denmark, two camps rated by Time magazine as "the 100 most worthwhile travel destinations in the world" not only provide ecological accommodation close to nature, but also a variety of play styles and lifestyles that meet higher spiritual needs. What is unique about them?
Eco-friendly to the ultimate New Zealand Glennoki Camp
Camp Glenorchy Glennoki is located in Lake Wacatip, near Queen's Town, New Zealand's most famous holiday resort. Surrounded by rugged mountains, verdant forests and fertile farmland, Lake Wacatip is known locally as "the end of the lake, the center of the mountain". The Glennoki Camp has created a green and natural lifestyle, reflected in its accommodation, dining, outdoor activities, landscape, services and other aspects, and the natural and friendly camping experience has become a great charm here.
Camps strictly follow the world's stringent sustainability standard, Living Challenge ™ (Residential Building Challenge ™） Built and operated, all buildings are passive and use solar and wind energy to create a healthy and comfortable living environment that consumes only half of the energy and water compared to the same type of camps or resorts.
The goal of the camps is to maintain close and friendly contact with nature during construction and operation. When the construction is completed, local trees such as beech have been re-planted in the campsite, integrating the overall environment into the surrounding forests and mountains, and returning animals such as bees and birds to their homes.
In addition to planting native tree species, the campsite also developed organic farms. Organic farms provide green, fresh crops for camping restaurants, as well as opportunities for home and school visitors to visit, plant, and harvest organic farm products to learn about the whole process of growing melons, fruits and vegetables, thus making food more valuable.
In terms of leisure experience, the campground is surrounded by all kinds of outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, skiing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, and skiing.
The camps also create a female health and healing vacation course for the female consumer market. Professional physiotherapists and coaches develop professional recipes that combine breathing exercises, yoga, Pilates, short hiking and other activities to help women who are stressed in their daily lives re-listen to their inner voices, improve their health and balance their bodies. Once the Healthy Healthy Healing course has been introduced, it usually needs to be scheduled two or three months in advance, and women's holiday products have become a new highlight in the camps.
Enjoy the Wild Places of Danish Exploration Camps in both Motion and Silence
Camp Adventure is located in a conserved forest on the southern outskirts of Copenhagen, the Danish capital. It contains a large number of ancient trees, retains natural biological communities such as lakes and wetlands, and has an excellent ecological environment. Camps have become Denmark's new "net red destination" by creating a 900-meter long forest shuttle trail, a 45-meter high forest tower and Denmark's largest climbing park, attracting people of all ages.
In 2014, the site developers were inspired by inspections of forest towers in Germany, Czech Republic and other countries. After six years, they polished the numerous award-winning forest towers projects. This scenic building was designed by the renowned Danish architectural firm EFFEKT in collaboration with Oyana to provide a new experience for the camps without disturbing the natural environment of the forest.
Unlike the observation towers you've seen in the past, the observation towers of the exploration camps are hourglass shaped with a long waist and larger area at the bottom and top. This design not only makes the tower more stable, but also increases the viewing platform space at the top of the tower and enhances the tour experience. The middle of the tower is a barrier-free wooden ramp that rises in a spiral shape, each rising slope is strictly calculated to ensure the comfort of the tour.
Standing on top of the tower, you can see not only the thousands of miles of forest around you, but also the Erle Channel Bridge, which connects Denmark and Sweden, and the city skyline of Copenhagen, looking north on a clear day.
In the center of the tower are several giant trees, which were not cultivated acquired, but were erected there from the beginning of construction, which also reflects the design concept of blending the camps into nature and enjoying nature.
If the tower is more suitable for tourists and older visitors, the 75,000-square-meter climbing park is a playground for children and young people. Ten routes, hundreds of climbing events, and an average of four hours for the experiencer to enjoy.
The camping house refers to the shape of the Mongolian yurt and is decorated with logs, which blend in with the surrounding natural environment.
Unlike Glennoki Camp in New Zealand, which creates the ultimate natural lifestyle, Camp Adventure Camp in Denmark employs a creative and attractive development strategy to attract potential consumers with iconic and interesting experiences and retain visitors through its high-quality ecological environment and featured services, including catering and lodging, which is more suitable for leisure vacation destinations around the city. Weekend vacationers are the main group of visitors to these destinations.
Outdoor camping isn't just about building a nice house or moving dinner from indoors to outdoors. Outdoor camping is a container for the relationship between people and nature, a healthier, greener lifestyle, and an organic combination of hardware and a unique experience. With the acceleration of urbanization in China, there will be more and more people who wish to stay away from the noise of the city temporarily, find a place of spiritual pleasure, and get close contact with nature, just as in Western countries.
