You'll think about your feet getting on, and again once or twice on the way up.

Not a safety inspection. Check the tree yourself before you trust it.

A lovely tree, it starts with a great hanging branch ascent very very fun; and if that bit is a bit too muscle-intensive for you, you can actually also get onto it from close to the main trunk, grabbing onto a branch just above head level (and later go down through the big hanging branch if you want, it's super fun!). After that bit, close to the trunk there are maaaaany isopods nesting there in all the dead branch cracks, super cute!! And you can actually climb up a couple more meters, where one of the two main tree branches is cut off, and that flat piece of trunk is the PERFECT 'Troll King' stool to sit on, chill, look at isopods going by, and look down at the Peasants down below :)
