Description
In this activity in Zurich, you join a large group to build your own axe and then throw it on the throwing range. You pick an axe, craft the handle, and put it together to create your piece.
When building the axe, you clean and sharpen it by hand. Then you personalise it with heat, fire, and wood burning. The finished axe is yours to keep.
On the throwing range, you practice one- and two-handed throws with your own axe. Afterwards, you play interactive throwing games and a tournament with the group. At the end, you can take a group photo.
