The cold temperatures in winter are not exactly inviting for outdoor activities - unless you go on the ski slopes.

But even as a non-winter sports enthusiast, you can pass the time when it snows, for example sledding.

Most of us are sure to bring back memories of our childhood.

It is still one of the most popular hobbies among young and old when it first snows. Since it is never possible to predict with 100% certainty whether it will snow, it is not wrong to be armed with a sled.

We have selected some classic wooden sleds for you.

But what should you look out for in a sled?

Wooden sledge: the main features

  • The big advantage of wooden sleds is that they are

    particularly durable

    .

    In contrast to other models made of plastic or inflatable sleds, they can withstand much more.

    The disadvantage is that they are heavier and can therefore sink into deep powder snow.

    Of course, carrying it up the hill is particularly exhausting.

  • When buying, you should also pay attention to

    how much weight the wooden sledge can withstand

    and how many people should drive it at the same time.

  • Safety first.

    Especially for children, it should be considered to put

    helmets

    (such as bicycle helmets) on them when sledding.

    This protects them in the event of a collision with, for example, a tree or another sled.

  • Wooden sleds can require

    special

    care

    .

    Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for all sleds.

    The sleds should dry thoroughly before they are put away after the winter.

    To prevent rust and mold from building up, store the sleds in a location that is free from excessive moisture.

  • If you want to make the wooden sledge roadworthy after a year, it is advisable to wax the runners.
