Anyone recommend or know of any Luge/Tobbogan runs which can be used in August that are close to Munich? And accessible via a train?
Only one I found so far researching is on Lake Schillersee which we can reach by train then a small ferry to the other side and cable car to the top.
Would like to do another one in August but won’t have a car. So if any others are accisbke via public transport that anyone knows of ?
There is a sommerrodelbahn in Garmisch-Partenkirchen http://www.sommerrodelbahn-gap.de/ at the far end of the Olympic car park. There are buses which server that area - most people are going to the fabulous canyon experience of the Partnachklamm or Partnach Gorge. https://www.gapa.de/en/Ort-Umgebung_en/Attractions/Partnach-Gorge which is well worth seeing if you are in the area.
I have been through the gorge and loved it, I have not yet ridden the specific sommerrodelbahn at GaP. I include it because it meets your needs and has a good reputation.
Rereading your question - you aren't asking for snow luge or toboggan rides in August right? You understand that the summer ones are on wheels (and very fast)?
There is another at Oberaudorf in the mountains near Chiemsee. Oberaudorf is served by the Meridian trains and it looks like a reasonable walk to bergbahn. https://www.chiemsee-alpenland.de/Media/Sehenswuerdigkeiten-Ausflugsziele/Sommerrodelbahn
Hi Robert- I was not impressed by the luge in Garmisch. And the one in Fussen was not particularly exciting. Just my take...
Have a great trip!!!
Thanks Nigel. Correct summer ones on wheels. Will look into the Chimsee one
Kenneth - the link Nigel put for the Garmish one has a video of the course. I can see what you mean, it doesn't look that impressive going down that one.
You can make a pleasant day of it here, just outside Oberammergau: https://www.kolbensattel.de/en/summer
Hi again Robert- Gundersen's suggestion for the Kolbensesselbahn looks like your best bet. It's a walk about 2/3rds of a mile west from the Oberammergau Bahnhof. Let us know if it is worthwhile. I am going to try it this September if the weather cooperates--
Have a great trip!!!.
There used to be a good Luge/Tobbogan ride in Innsbruck, Austria
