This is extreme sky-diving.

Nils is an extreme sport enthusiast. Jumping from a plane is no longer enough to satisfy him. With his friend Hans, he plans to scale a 100-meter-high rock face in Voss, and then jump off it. He turns his sky-diving skills to base jumping.

It's a nice wall because it's a little bit 1 . So we have good space. The special thing about this spot is that we have to land on the road, so we have to take care of the cars.

Assessing the traffic so that they can land safely requires precise timing, adding an extra layer of risk for these thrill-seekers. The climbing up the rock face was painful,all that hard work for a jump that will be over in seconds.

When the extreme sport elites from across the world meet in Voss,a lot of parachutists deliberately land directly on the 2 in front of the Fleischer's hotel, for a beer. The hotel was built in 1889. Famous guests even included the German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm. The hotel's changed a lot since then. But the Kaiser's old toilet has been preserved.
