The story

Tanne had a short children’s luge course at Jägerborn in the Harz, then part of East Germany. The channel was 350 m long and intended for children aged 6 to 13. It served young riders in a village with an older sledding tradition. The village’s earlier, longer sled run was a separate course rather than the same channel.
