Toboggan ride
The toboggans are of a wicker construction, built on wooden runners beneath. They are pushed and steered (and for a brief stretch, pulled) by fit guys dressed in traditional white, with straw boaters, and in February, blue tops against the 17°C cold.

It doesn't look like fun to me. Did you enjoy it?
Good question Cherie. Compared to a fairground ride it was pretty tame. On the other hand, it's the only way you can experience it. Once was enough, and I'm glad I did it.
