Rodelbahn Petersberg (2015)

Petersberg near Halle (Saale) is a thoroughly strange place. Beside the toboggan run Rodelbahn Petersberg you can find here a high ropes course, the zoo Petersberg and a huge fairground, which is also the reason for the many parking lots around it. At the time of the visit all hell was breaking loose in Petersberg, so it was not easy to get to one of the parking lots, especially as the local visitors are not necessarily the best drivers. During the Krammarkt, three Euros were charged for parking, a proud price, after all I wasn’t particularly interested in the goods advertised here, and apart from the noodle dealer from the Hamburg fish market, there wasn’t much that should have kept you at the stands.

The Rodelbahn Petersberg is located directly on the path on the other side of the road. After you have paid for the ride, you can start immediately. Through a dense forest with partly interesting footbridge constructions along the way you climb up the lift.

At the top, you leave it in a small right-hand bend, whereupon you immediately increase your speed. After a further right turn and a change of direction, you instantly make a downward helix to the right. Shortly afterwards you race over a small gradient, whereupon only two left and right turns alternate. After that, the more than respectable, even if quite short, ride ends.

Sommer- und Winterrodelbahn Wippra (2015)

When I last visited Wippra the Sommer- und Winterrodelbahn Wippra was unfortunately closed for technical reasons. On the off chance I dared to visit it again, since the web site, which had been neglected for years, unfortunately does not provide any data on whether it was open or not, and lo and behold, after I had paid the price for a ride – which was higher than the price listed in the ticket office list – the ride could start right away.

After leaving the lift there is a short right-hand bend, whereupon one immediately increases speed in a left-hand bend. This speed is continuously increased on the following straight before it goes into a wide right turn and then over a small gradient. In a small tunnel you change direction and race down the slope for a few meters before you approach the highlight of the course in a wide right turn. With full speed you pass a bigger jump and after another turn you pass two waves. Then you go around a small lake featuring a Nautic Jet from Heege, only to take off a little bit in the sled in another jump. Two turns later you reach the end of the Sommer- und Winterrodelbahn Wippra.

Silberseebob (2015)

The last stop on my route back to Hamburg was the Silberseebob near Frielendorf am Silbersee, which I had already visited unsuccessfully two years ago. Although the closure of the ride was still a long way off this time, the way to the lake turned out to be time-consuming due to numerous route closures. Finally found, I parked my car directly behind the Nautic Jet and hurried to the ride.

After a short briefing the trip could start right away. After climbing up the lift we immediately went over a small meadow towards the forest. In a left turn you increase your speed steadily before you go down a jump. Another left turn follows, which is immediately followed by a right turn. The path is serpentine yet very fast and leads through the forest until you reach a clearing. Here you change direction and pass two waves. Two turns later you cross the lift hill and approach the end of the ride in a zigzag trajectory.

The Silberseebob is a very nice Wiegand Alpine Coaster, which offers a good and speedy ride. For a little detour to the north or south the ride is highly recommended.
