In winter, go on one of the longest natural toboggan runs in Germany
Sledging, also known as tobogganing, is not only popular with children: adults can also enjoy themselves on the many toboggan runs on Lake Tegernsee - even those without children. And for good reason: the 6.5-kilometer natural toboggan run on Wallberg near Rottach-Egern takes you back to childhood and brings back fond memories from the old days. The descent on the toboggan run takes half an hour; if you don't have your own toboggan, you can easily borrow one at the Wallbergbahn valley station. But be careful: The cable car on Wallberg is also very demanding: physical fitness, the right equipment and caution are required at all times.
