Along the famous luge and bobsleigh track and the biathlon Sparkassen-Arena.
Altenberg is primarily known as a traditional winter sports resort - with sixteen world championships in bobsleigh, luge and biathlon. But you can also discover the region's eventful sporting history by bike.
This varied tour takes you past the world-famous luge and bobsleigh track and the Biathlon Sparkassen-Arena. A special highlight awaits you at the site of the former biathlon arena, where the world championships were held in 1967. Today, the area has been renaturalized and is part of a protected natural area. In late spring, the area is transformed into a bright sea of purple broad-leaved orchid flowers - a quiet, impressive contrast to the sporting past.
