Team go on tree-top adventure

The entire TSG Hoffenheim team clocked out early from their training camp in the Upper Austrian resort of Windischgarsten on Monday afternoon, with the "Hexenkessel" tree-top adventure park their destination. At dizzying heights, the TSG players and the coaching staff climbed along rock faces and zip-wired across ravines up to 180 metres deep while strapped to harnesses.

It was an event that made an impression on the players: "I was a little bit nervous beforehand but it's good fun," Justin Hoogma told TSG.TV.

Goalkeeper Oliver Baumann lauded the team event in the skies. "Initially it was extremely strenuous to climb up here. Once you're attached to a harness, there's no going back anyway. You get to know the lads on a different level. A few were a little more scared, but Howie for example is fazed by absolutely nothing. It brings you all even closer together as a team and is a great experience."
