From world championships to mountain biking in a mine – Thuringia gets your heart pumping!

The world looks to Thuringia in winter – or, more precisely, the winter resort of Oberhof: It will soon be hosting the Luge and Biathlon World Championships. Many world-class athletes have stayed in Oberhof, playing in countless World Cups and several World Championships. The town’s sports facilities have been modernized just in time for the World Championships. It has a lot to offer tourists, too: from an indoor ski slope for year-round fun on cross-country trails to a mountain biking park with trails of all levels of difficulty to the H2Oberhof spa and water park.

The World Championships and the wide selection of year-round activities in Oberhof are representative of the kinds of things that active people can do throughout Thuringia. From mountain biking and hiking to climbing and paddling – whatever outdoor fun you enjoy, you’ll find a place in Thuringia to do it. And not just in the forest, in the water, on the slopes or on the cycling track, either. In Thuringia, you can get your sports thrills way up high – while soaring through the air skydiving or hiking along the Treetop Trail – or, if you prefer, deep underground, mountain biking in a mine...
