Bungee Jumping Tower, Ada Ciganlija

The bungee jumping tower on Ada Ciganlija is a 55 m platform on the shore of the Sava Lake in Belgrade's Čukarica district, Serbia. Jumpers fall toward the lake and see the water and island greenery from the top. The activity is bungee jumping, and it demands nerve rather than fitness: no athletic ability is needed, but participants must be in good health, free of heart, back, neck or blood-pressure problems, and pregnant women are normally excluded. Operators usually set minimum and maximum weight limits and a minimum age, often with parental consent for minors, so the exact limits should be confirmed at the tower. The current operator is not confirmed online; the operator and price are posted at the tower and listed on adaciganlija.rs. Visitors should budget about 3,000-4,000 RSD per jump, which is an estimate rather than a posted price. A visit takes about 30 minutes including the briefing. Participants complete a weight and health declaration at the tower, show photo ID and wear closed shoes and comfortable clothes. Staff weigh each jumper, fit the harness and ankle or body attachments, and set the cord according to body weight. The briefing explains the jump position, how to fall and how the lowering and retrieval after the jump work. Rescue procedures rely on the staff at the platform, who control the cord and lower the jumper to the ground, and the island has first-aid and lifeguard services nearby. Bungee operations depend on weather. The best season is May to September, with warm and dry days. Strong wind, rain and thunderstorms can stop jumps, and operations typically pause in winter. Weekends in summer see the longest queues, so weekday visits are quieter. Anyone unsure about the safety standard should ask to see the operator's equipment checks before paying.
