The event is scheduled to be broadcast live on 31 May in the morning on TVN24 and Onet.pl.
A slackline approximately 500 metres long and less than two centimetres wide will be stretched across the city centre at a height of 180 metres. The walk will begin from the terrace beneath the Millennium Clock at the Palace of Culture and Science and finish on one of the terraces of Varso Tower. The crossing is expected to take between 25 and 35 minutes.
The project’s name – “Red Bull Timeline” – reflects the connection between two architectural symbols of Warsaw: the historic Palace of Culture and Science and the ultra-modern Varso Tower, the tallest building in the European Union.
Project partners include: PKO Bank Polski, Garmin, the Palace of Culture and Science, the City of Warsaw, HB Reavis, and CMS.
