Wildpark Lüneburger Heide (2020)

Wildpark Lüneburger Heide during the Covid-19 pandemic

The Wildpark Lüneburger Heide near Nindorf close to Hamburg has been open to visitors again since last Wednesday. For Corona reasons, visitors are currently required to wear masks in the entrance area and when ordering at the food stands and in the shops. Apart from that, one appeals to common sense and does not interfere any further with what is going on – at least this is the case in the actual zoo; at the tree-top trail Heide Himmel there may be longer waiting times due to the current one-way policy, as the exit for many visitors has to be via the lift at the observation tower and use is only permitted for groups belonging together. In general, the management of the park is really exemplary in this respect. The newly gained normality is visibly good for the visitors, but those who continue to be frightened by Corona should rather visit during the week or skip it for the time being.

Odenwaldbob (2016)

itemprop="discussionURL"0

On my way back from Stuttgart to Hamburg I stopped with all my belongings at the summer toboggan run Wald-Michelbach, which was somehow on the way. The Odenwaldbob can hardly be overlooked on the way there, after all, one winds up the mountain halfway parallel to the Kreidacher Höhe.

In a slightly sloping right turn you leave the station and pick up some speed on a straight line. After a short left-hand bend, you now cross a country road and, after a drop, plunge directly into a left-hand roundabout. At full throttle, you now make several small right/left turns and immediately after that a wide right turn. After a left-hand bend, the ride continues downhill at high speed via several jumps parallel to the lift hill of the ride. After a short left turn, a right turn follows in a slightly serpentine fashion, which then merges into the second roundabout of the ride. This releases you into a wide right turn parallel to the slope, which then releases you into two hairpin bends and shortly afterwards into the braking section. This is followed by the return to the station.

Although the track is consistently equipped with brake swords of different materials resulting in different braking effects of the magnetic brakes on the bobsled, the ride on the Odenwaldbob is consistently fun and you never really had the feeling of being too slow, especially compared to conventional rides with centrifugal brakes on the sled like the Trapper Slider at the Fort Fun Abenteuerland amusement park. The 1000m long downhill run has a good mix of different elements, which makes it dynamic until the end and therefore a lot of fun.

Bobbahn Donnstetten (2016)

itemprop="discussionURL"0

On the way back from our Il Viaggio dei due Runner Tour from Italy to Stuttgart we stopped at the Bobbahn Donnstetten, which is located directly at the village Donnstetten. Along the ski slope, the Alpine Coaster stretches its way up, whereby the full track is not visible.

Arriving at the top of the Donnstetten bobsleigh run, it starts off quite swiftly with the crossing of a good drop. Quite surprised, you then pass through a wide left-hand bend, which releases you into two jumps, i.e. smaller hills, which, however, let you lift off your seat a bit. Still with full throttle you pass the first of seven serpentine curves, in which the speed is now gradually reduced. Shortly after that you reach the end of the track, whose dramaturgy was wrongly constructed and thus after an exciting beginning somehow offers nothing more.
