Hell, Yeah! Bishop Heike Springhart's Thrill-Seeking Spirit
Bishop Heike Springhart, a badass lady from the Evangelical Church in Baden, has strapped herself onto a water roller coaster but confesses there's more where that came from. At a recent ecumenical service celebrating Europa-Park's 50th anniversary in Rust, Baden-Württemberg, she admitted to holding back. "I ain't scared, but I ain't tested my limits yet," she casually mentioned. The "Poseidon" ride, a Frankenstein's monster of a roller coaster and boat ride, had her taste the adrenaline.
"I ain't no coward," she added, chatting on the sidelines of the event. "I reckon folks oughta challenge themselves – it's important for livin' life to the fullest." This, she pointed out, includes curiosity, vitality, and fun. "I've seen what I can and can't do, and it's about growin' beyond my comfort zone."
Livin' Life with a Pop of Color
Springhart has a soft spot for amusement parks. "People, families, and friends need chances to enjoy experiences beyond their daily grind. It ain't about runnin' from reality, but about addin' some color to it."
The Europa-Park whispers memories of her childhood and youth: "Most folks who come back again and again will tell ya they're kids once more. I reckon people need that," she mused in Rust. She raised a glass to the service beside the Archbishop of Freiburg, Stephan Burger.

"Bishop Heike Springhart's interests extend beyond thrill-seeking adventures; she advocates for a colorful home-and-garden lifestyle that includes outdoor-living and encourages others to challenge themselves for a fully lived life,"
" transitioning from the excitement of amusement parks like Europa-Park, she embraces the idea of bringing such vibrant, playful elements into other aspects of life, like home and garden, to enrich everyday experiences."
