Roter Frankenrodel

In the middle of Franconian Switzerland, you have the choice between two spectacular summer toboggan runs! The Roter Frankenrodel takes you down a huge stainless steel slide. It's a real thrill for you and your fellow rider as you descend over 1000 meters down the mountain alone or in pairs. 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.

How fast is a summer toboggan run?

Everyone rides as fast as they want! You use the brake lever to decide whether you want to ride faster or slower. Simply try out the speed slowly. Our sleds can reach a top speed of 40 km/h.

How do you ride a summer toboggan run?

It's very simple: you sit alone (min. 8 years old) or with a passenger on our sledge. 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 have to walk 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 height, there are also sledders who are over 2 meters tall. On the Roter Frankenrodel the maximum weight is 170kg and on the Gelber Frankenbob 150kg.

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.

Yes - every toboggan rider must buy a ticket. Even if you are only the accompanying person for the under 8-year-old child.

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. Just check the daily OPENING HOURS before your visit to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately, our Roter Frankenrodel must remain closed when it rains. But if you don't mind a little rain shower, then you can also ride the Gelber Frankenbob. Our rain canopies will protect you. If the rain lasts longer or there is a thunderstorm, we will have to close the facility. If you are unsure, take a look at the webcam.

A visit to the summer toboggan runs and the Skywalk 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!

Everything is much more fun without a rucksack! You will find lockers for your rucksack or bag in front of the toilets for a fee. These are then safely stored and you can toboggan without any worries!

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.

Our summer toboggan run 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.

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, you simply remain comfortably seated and are automatically pulled up again with our lift system.
