Tobogganing and toboggan runs in Winterberg
Those who love tobogganing will get their money's worth in Winterberg in both summer and winter. Winterberg is located in Sauerland, in western Germany. In addition to being a well-known winter sports resort, Winterberg is also a very popular holiday destination in the summer. This means that Winterberg has provided summer and winter toboggan runs.
In winter you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and of course tobogganing in Winterberg. There are four winter toboggan runs in operation from winter season 2018/2019. These are usually located next to the ski slopes on the mountains. We will first discuss the winter toboggan runs and then the summer toboggan runs.

Summer tobogganing in the Winterberg area is also still possible on the Kappeberg. This track has a length of 700 meters and has many bends and steep parts. To get to the top, a drag lift first pulls you 250 meters uphill. From the spectator bridge you can enjoy a beautiful view over the course. You will also find many more attractions on the Kappeberg, including a bobsleigh run (one of the longest in the world!), a ropes course, mtb course, a panorama bridge, a fly-line and a playground for the little ones

Schanzen Wirbel Alpine Coaster
Lift number 26a
The starting point of this toboggan run is near the famous St.-Georg-Schanze on the Herlohberg. After you have pulled a long way up on your sled, with a magnificent view of the famous ski jump, the spectacular journey down begins. This track is about 700 meters long. You whiz down the mountain via sharp turns, steep slopes and even a full 360-degree turn. You decide how fast you go. If you put a lot of speed behind it, you will be back down in just over a minute and you will reach a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, but most take about 2.30 minutes! Children from the age of 8 and eight can ride a sled on their own. Younger children perform the breathtaking ride together with mom or dad.
A lot of attention was paid to the safety of the toboggan run. After a strict safety inspection, the green light was given to start using the attraction. The course has been given the name 'Schanzen Wirbel', which means 'whirlpool at the ski jump'. The track can also be used in bad weather and even in winter it remains partially open. It is possible to provide the sleds with a roof against the rain. Toboggan enthusiasts can now also enjoy their favorite leisure activities on the Herlohberg.

Herrloh Blitz Mountain Coaster
Elevator number: 26b
And now a third summer toboggan run has been added. This one is opposite the Schanzen Wirbel and is nicely named Herrloh Blitz Mountain Coaster .
Flying alone is more beautiful than a ride on the Herrloh Blitz. The adrenaline rushes through your body as you fly over the 600 meter long track with its eight turns. The Herrloh Blitz is a particularly spectacular toboggan experience. The feeling of speed and gravity is present at this toboggan run. Thanks to the narrow rails you feel the turns even more, but luckily you are safely stuck in the toboggan and let the wind whiz past your ears. Everyone can determine their own speed by not braking a little or very much.
