Lindauer Hütte<br />
1,744 m above sea level<br />
TOBOGGANING IN GAUERTAL<br />
A special natural toboggan run leads from<br />
the Lindauer Hütte to Latschau. At 6.5<br />
kilometres in length and superbly prepared,<br />
it is suitable for young and old alike.<br />
What’s the first special feature? You’d have<br />
to say the descent. It takes a leisurely twoand-a-half<br />
hours or so on foot reach the<br />
Lindauer Hütte. At 1,744 metres above sea<br />
level and surrounded by the Sulzfluh, the<br />
Drei Türme and the Drusenfluh, it stands<br />
on a rocky crag and offers a magnificent<br />
view. And the next special thing? Hungry<br />
tobogganers are served regional delicacies<br />
in the Lindauer Hütte, where the homely<br />
atmosphere quickly thaws cold fingers<br />
and noses. And another plus point? The<br />
host Manfred Sprung has 60 luges in<br />
stock, ready to rent to tobogganing fans.<br />
And then we’re off. The descent is very<br />
fast and takes about 30 minutes. Those<br />
who prefer a more comfortable ride or<br />
are out with children can toboggan for<br />
about an hour. The toboggan ride takes<br />
you through forests, wide clearings and<br />
over small wooden bridges, past gnarled<br />
old trees and groups of corn stalks to the<br />
final tobogganing meeting point. The toboggans<br />
can be conveniently dropped off<br />
here. Manfred Sprung collects his toboggans<br />
regularly.<br />
The conclusion? A toboggan run is an<br />
experience that not only makes children’s<br />
hearts beat faster but also brings back<br />
long-forgotten feelings of childhood for<br />
the grown-ups. P
