Tips & Advice

  • Get a group together for beer crate curling or Eisstockschießen, which are offered alongside open skating on the Marktplatz.
  • Come in the evening if you want live music, which plays on many evenings during the run.
  • Dress warmly and wear gloves for skating, since the rink is real ice even though it has a roof.
  • Warm up afterwards at the stalls, which serve mulled wine and snacks right next to the ice.
