In the design of modern landscape environment, the landscape plank road has become an irreplaceable medium to increase the interest and sentiment of the site. Its planning and design are very important to the visual beauty of the scenic spot and the tourist experience of tourists.
According to their distribution in different geographic spaces, plank roads can be divided into three types: mountain plank roads, water landscape plank roads, and land landscape plank roads. Mountain plank roads are mainly distributed in mountainous tourist attractions. The water landscape plank road is a landscape structure between the water body and the revetment. The focus is to extend the horizontal view of the landscape, allowing visitors to form a link and natural transition between two completely different spaces. The land landscape plank roads are generally built on the ground of ecologically fragile areas or natural reserves where permanent structures cannot be built to maintain the natural ecology of the scenic area while allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty.
At present, the design of landscape plank road and its expression of natural space level in our country are relatively singular, which makes its use function not perfect. In addition, the management of later safety protection measures for landscape plank roads also needs to be strengthened. Let's share the world's most classic landscape plank road cases and see how the design can bring tourists an immersive tour experience.
The Lipno tree-top plank road is a unique existence in the Czech Republic. It is also the first plank road built in the same category. It will be open to tourists on July 10, 2012.
The plank road is located in the lakeside town of Lipno, which is perfectly integrated with the surrounding natural landscape. Standing on the top of the plank road, you can overlook the Lipno Lake, the Šumava Nature Reserve and the Alps in Austria.
Here, in addition to enjoying the natural scenery, visitors can also experience a variety of sports, entertainment and educational activities. Both adult tourists and teenagers who are keen on forest exploration can learn about nature, especially the functions and protection of forests.
The total length of the plank road Lipno is 675 meters, of which the length of the one-way trail is 372 meters, and the length of the observation tower plank road is 303 meters. At the end is a nine-sided observation tower with a height of 40 meters and a diameter of 24 meters, with ventilation structure and barrier-free access. , Construction types and methods make it a unique landmark building.
The plank road is a wooden building structure. The surface is composed of a large number of bonded laminate wood. Wooden railings and transparent side nets are installed for two weeks to provide effective protection for the safety of tourists. Both strollers and trolleys can pass smoothly, and barrier-free access is also provided for disabled persons in wheelchairs, which attracts different groups of tourists to the greatest extent.
Bavarian Forest National Park established in 1970, it is the first national park in Germany. Its tree-top plank road is the first and longest (total length of 1,300 meters) plank road in Germany. It was officially opened to the public in September 2009.
Here, visitors can enjoy the unspoiled native natural landscape of the Bavarian Forest and the majestic Alps. Most of the tree-top plank road is made of wood, which is in line with the construction purpose of "perfectly integrate into the mountain and forest landscape and live in harmony with nature". The plank road is open throughout the year, and visitors can enjoy the four seasons of the forest here.
An information center is built at the end of the plank road, where visitors can not only take a break, but also learn more detailed information about the Bavarian Forest.
The plank road is divided into two types: higher and lower: the high walking path will pass through the oldest part of the forest, while the tower and the lower walking path are located in the younger part of the forest. At the same time, the high walking trail also provides a series of activities for different groups of tourists to learn and experience the forest in a more three-dimensional manner.
The highest point of the tree-end trail is a 45-meter tower and viewing platform on the ground. The entire tower avoids the traditional cylindrical shape and presents a geometric spiral shape to enhance the experience of visitors. This not only increases the stability of the tower, but also increases the area of the viewing platform at the top of the tower, allowing better contact with the forest and cleverly blending with the surrounding natural tones.
The continuous ramp is completely open and has a variety of design features, including open-air grandstand seats, birdhouses, circulation passages and bridges to bring an extraordinary visual experience. The treetop experience is the latest addition to the existing sports facilities of the camp adventure, including a treetop climbing path and a zip line up to 25 meters.
The boardwalk is an interactive nature walk in the wild center, dedicated to helping people explore and understand the natural environment of Adirondack. The wild plank road is built in the forest and is designed as an elevated bridge, creating a learning landscape, bringing visitors into the treetops and providing a new view of the forest.
The project consists of a series of platforms connected by bridges. Starting from the average, people over 40 feet are gradually regarded as the surrounding woodland. These platforms are supported by Corten steel columns and are intended to become abstractions of the surrounding white pine trees. The wild plank road is almost completely accessible and family-oriented, including a four-story tree house with branches, a swing bridge, a spider web, shared games wandering around 24 feet of ground, and many opportunities to sit and observe and learn about the forest below.
The steel used to construct the trail is a prominent material, durable, and its changing color palette blends into the forest. Taking into account the complexity of geometric shapes, the entire project (including all steel components) was digitally modeled in 3D. On the way of the plank road, there are also interesting devices such as a science room, observation tube, and tree cave ropeway to enrich the experience of walking. At the end of the plank road is the bird’s nest spider web-like children’s play area. The oversized spider web is very popular with children.
As a linear belt-shaped human landscape in a natural space, the plank road has its changeable and rich-level characteristics complementing and sublimating the landscape of the earth. The beauty and attractiveness of the natural world also break through the constraints of space, thus bringing visitors visually and psychologically. Excitement and excitement. It is worth noting that during the construction of the plank road, it is necessary to fully integrate the actual situation of the scenic spot with the design principles and concepts of the plank road, so as to meet the needs of tourists for sightseeing, leisure, entertainment, and popular science to the greatest extent while ensuring absolute safety. To avoid intrusion and destruction of the natural landscape and protect the ecological environment at the same time.
