Extreme Park Cernica is a tree-top adventure park on the shore of Lake Cernica, in Ilfov County on the eastern edge of Bucharest, roughly 15 km from the city centre. It combines ropes courses strung between trees with a zipline that crosses part of the lake, a stretch of about 800 m according to local listings.

Extreme Park Cernica is a tree-top adventure park on the shore of Lake Cernica, in Ilfov County on the eastern edge of Bucharest, roughly 15 km from the city centre. It combines ropes courses strung between trees with a zipline that crosses part of the lake, a stretch of about 800 m according to local listings. The park is one of the closest outdoor adventure options for Bucharest residents and visitors who want a half-day activity without leaving the metropolitan area. The activity type is a high-ropes circuit: participants clip into a safety system and move across bridges, nets, beams and platforms before finishing on the zipline. No prior experience is needed, and the courses suit first-timers, families and groups of friends. Moderate balance and a basic level of fitness are enough; the lowest courses are generally the most accessible for children, though minimum age and height rules are set by the operator and should be confirmed before travelling. Helmet and harness are provided on site. Visitors should bring closed sports shoes, comfortable clothing that allows free movement, and optionally gloves for gripping cables. Long hair should be tied back and loose jewellery removed. The operator is listed as Extreme Park Cernica, which publishes information mainly through its Facebook page, so opening days and prices should be checked there before the trip. Formal certification details for the park are not published in the sources available, so visitors who want assurance can ask staff at the entrance about the safety system and inspection practice. A staff briefing on clipping, unclipping and zipline braking is standard for parks of this type, and staff supervise the courses and assist anyone who becomes stuck or uncomfortable. Prices are roughly 50 to 100 lei per person for a course or zipline ride, with older listings quoting about 40 lei for three hours. The season runs from April to October. Dry, mild weather in late spring and early autumn is the most comfortable, while strong wind, thunderstorms and wet platforms are conditions to avoid because ropes and wooden elements become slippery. Combining the visit with a walk or picnic around Cernica Lake and the nearby Cernica monastery area makes a relaxed day out.
