Overview

Rodelbahn St. Englmar is a prominent Bavarian amusement park specializing in twin alpine coaster tracks known as 'Bob- und Rodelbahn'. The facility features two parallel steel-trough tracks measuring 1,000 meters in length each, allowing for simultaneous side-by-side racing. Beyond the coasters, the park includes a 'Flying Fox' zip line, a water-skipping playground, and an 'Optische Phänomene' exhibition focusing on optical illusions. The grounds are designed for active play with a large adventure playground, trampolines, and various mechanical amusement rides.
