Hints and tips for safe tobogganing on the natural toboggan run

The condition of the natural toboggan run depends in particular on the snow conditions, the daily weather, the number of tobogganers and the time of day. Always expect icy, wavy, stony or bumpy sections.
We recommend wearing sturdy shoes, gloves, ski goggles and a helmet as well as using stable toboggans with two continuous metal runners.
Please always toboggan in an upright sitting position facing in the direction of travel. Only overtake with sufficient lateral distance and, if necessary, after a warning call; the slower tobogganer in front has priority!
The natural toboggan runs are only suitable for small children to a limited extent.
