Through 13 steep curves
Zooming rapidly through an imaginary ice channel across blooming meadows, the spicy Black Forest air tickling your nose, followed by a well-deserved relaxation. This is what a perfect family vacation trip to the all-year-round bobsleigh track at Mehliskopf looks like.
Located right on the famous Black Forest High Road, since July 2001 and expanded in 2013, you can race at speeds of up to 40 km/h on steel rails through 13 steep curves, making a roaring noise. It's an incredible feeling to race into the steep curves, be jerked around, and for a moment of fright, think you're about to take off into the open landscape. But fear not, no one has been thrown off the track, as the bobs are securely connected to the rails and the pilots are strapped in.

Now also as a VR experience
For the autumn holidays in 2018, we are launching the use of Virtual Reality glasses on the bobsleigh track. The front-seat passenger can wear VR glasses. The person wearing the VR glasses experiences the bobsleigh ride as a flight through an imaginary world. On the all-weather bobsleigh track, it is possible to ride with Virtual Reality glasses. The front-seat passenger can wear VR glasses.
Western
Another film is set in a Western. You can loot money bags and cash. Watch out! If you shoot dynamite sticks, you will lose points, but if you catch wanted bandits, you get a special high score. During the downhill ride, you feel like Indiana Jones in the mine from the Temple of Doom.
