Tobogganing

On your marks - ready, steady, sled!

If you really think that tobogganing is not strenuous is totally wrong! Braking and making turns require a lot of physical effort, especially if the toboggan track is quite steep. Grit your teeth and get to it does not work here. Perfect posture, stretch your stomach and use your feet. This is how you reach your goal skillfully and elegantly. You will have at least as much fun as sore muscles the next day. The thirteen toboggan runs are suitable to all ages and preferences – be it young or old, speed professionals or leisurely tobogganers. Come by, get on the sled and speed down the hills with family and friends! The loser pays for the hot chocolate at the mountain hut.
