Sommerrodelbahn Hexentanzplatz Thale
The Sommerrodelbahn Hexentanzplatz Thale is a toboggan run on a hillside near Thale where visitors ride down in small sleds on a winding track. The course is about 1000 meters long with several curves and small bumps, and riders control their own speed.
The toboggan run opened in summer 2000 and has since become a popular destination for visitors from the region and beyond. The facility at Hexentanzplatz, a site with old legends and traditions, combines modern recreation with the long history of this mountain area.
The name Hexentanzplatz means 'Witches' Dance Floor' and refers to old stories and legends connected to this place. Visitors can still experience these traditions today in the signs and small cafes around the area.
The best way to reach the site is by car to the parking area or by cable car from Thale up to Hexentanzplatz. The toboggan run is usually open during daytime from late morning to early evening, but visitors should check weather conditions as rain, fog, or storms can cause temporary closures.
Riders control their own speed, allowing them to choose between a leisurely ride and an exciting one. The notable feature is a 55 meter drop over the approximately 1000 meter course, which creates a steep descent for those who want to go faster.
