Ice Skating

With a sufficiently thick layer of ice, an ice skating rink - which is about 8 meters wide - is cleared from snow on a length of about 2 km. The loop leads around the entire lake near the shore. If you have tried it once - more or less elegantly - you will be convinced for sure: There is no lovelier natural ice rink than lake Piburger See.
