Biting cold, drizzling snow, a
hot cup a coffee and peek through the window-is tempting for winters! But getting outside and heating up through sports can be a pleasure of its
kind. Germany has a long tradition of winter sports. It dominates
in sledding disciplines
and is the only country in the world to have four bobsleigh, luge and skeleton
tracks. These tracks are located in Altenberg, Königssee, Oberhof, and Winterberg. Also Alpine
skiing is a popular sport here as well as Eisstockschiessen or
ice stock sport, is played in southern Germany.
Thus, there are a number of
sports which one can easily take up at nearby sport centre to keep fit and
warm, such as skiing, ice-skating, sleighing, etc. If it is still too cold for
you then indoor sports are also a good option to keep yourself warm. This may
include dance forms, swimming, table tennis, squash, etc.
