Upside-Down Travel: Get Dizzy in Germany

September 17, 2008 at 9:00 AM | 0 Comments

When you start running out of ways to attract tourists to your town, you have to start turning your thinking upside-down. And perhaps that's why the German town of Usedom--which had hoped to become famous on the strength of its nude beaches, until it ran into trouble on its Polish border--is now trying to grab tourists with its upside-down house.

There's just one problem. Nearly all the visitors who walk into this house, which looks upside-down from both the outside and the inside, say they feel ill. "Dizzy" and "disoriented" are feelings that often come up, and they're not really the kind of feedback you want from paying customers, except maybe on roller coasters.

It's a tricky problem because turning the house up the right way will make for a pretty boring exhibit. Perhaps they need to get the former nudists involved somehow to really beef up the tourist numbers.
