“It starts at the entrance and goes past
the attractions and all the way along the walkways,” said
a proud spokeswoman at the Tripsdrill Amusement Park near
Cleebronn, Baden-Württemberg.
The Longest
sock washing line in The World
, with socks pegged
on all the way along, runs for 2,324.08 metres which should
easily beat the previous Guinness world record of 2,013.75
metres.
Visitors to the park have been asked to
bring socks to contribute – or give up the ones they were
wearing – with more than 10,000 pairs having been donated.
“Most are in good condition, but there are also
some with holes. It’s very colourful here,” said the spokeswoman.
