Family tip: Summer tobogganing fun at the Kaiserburg

A special tip from us: the new summer toboggan run takes you down into the valley at full speed on hot bends! It's a new technique - you are pulled up in a bobsleigh and ride down into the valley on rails - almost like a rollercoaster! Have fun.
