Rhönbob

In the middle of the Rhön you will find the Rhönbob. The all-weather toboggan run is open in sunshine and rain. You ride alone or in pairs over 1000 meters down the mountain. You decide the speed yourself. You can brake independently with the brake lever and thus determine the speed. You can toboggan from spring to fall. Light rain does not affect the toboggan run. The Rhönbob is only closed when the ski lifts are open in winter.

Wie fährt man? | Wasserkuppe

How do you ride the Rhönbob?

It's very simple: you sit alone (min. 8 years old) or with a passenger on our sledge. Don't forget to buckle up! We will then give you a short briefing and then you can start tobogganing. If you push the brake lever forwards, you accelerate. If you pull the lever backwards, you brake. You decide how fast you speed down the mountain with the brake lever.

You don't need to run up the hill on your own, our lift will take you comfortably all the way up.

Children from the age of 3 are allowed to toboggan accompanied and from the age of 8 alone.

answer to all important questions

Children aged 3 and over may toboggan if accompanied. The companion must be at least 8 years old and at least 1.35 m tall. From the age of 8, everyone may toboggan alone. Unfortunately, children under the age of 3 are not allowed to toboggan for safety reasons. However, there are also many attractions without a minimum age.

Two people fit on one toboggan, but you are also welcome to toboggan alone. Please check the minimum age beforehand and bring an accompanying person (if necessary). We have noted down all the important dates of the attractions.

There is no maximum size, there are also tobogganers who are over 2 meters tall. Our maximum weight for the sledges on the summer toboggan run is 150 kg.

Our season starts at the end of March and we can operate until November if the weather is good. Take a look at our traffic light system for the daily opening times.

We are actually open in almost any weather. Gray clouds and wind can't harm us. If there is a rain shower, we unfortunately have to close for a short time. To be on the safe side, just check the daily opening times before your visit.

The Rhönbob is an all-weather summer toboggan run - by putting on rain hoods, we can ride even in rain and snow and you stay dry during the ride. The double summer toboggan run, on the other hand, must be 100% dry. So if there is a rain shower, we will unfortunately have to close. If you are unsure, it is best to check the webcam.

You can access the Ski- und Rodelarena Wasserkuppe area free of charge. To use our rides, you will need to buy a ticket at our ticket offices on site. You can find the prices for our rides on our prices page.

A visit to the summer toboggan run is always worthwhile! If you want to avoid a long queue, we recommend a visit in the morning if the weather forecast is good. The early bird sleds longer!

With your toboggan ticket, you go through the turnstile and get on the next free toboggan. Our staff will then give you a brief introduction to the braking system. And then the wild ride begins. Using the brake lever, you decide for yourself how fast you want to go. When you reach the bottom of the Rhönbob, you simply remain comfortably seated and are automatically pulled up again with our lift system.

On the double summer toboggan run, you have to get off briefly at the bottom, walk a short distance around the valley station and then take the next free toboggan to the top using the lift system.

Our Rhöbob is barrier-free. There are special conditions for people with a disabled pass and a registered accompanying person. You can find out more about the prices here.

Simply register at the toboggan cash desk.

Unfortunately, the double summer toboggan run is not barrier-free.

In your own interest and due to safety regulations, pregnant women are not permitted to use the summer toboggan run. However, there are plenty of good vantage points where you can watch your loved ones tobogganing in comfort.

Guests who have a disabled pass with the letter "B" (accompanying person) receive a discount. Please show your ID at the ticket office. Further information can be found on our price list
