Indoor ice skating

Today a visit to the ice skating stadium. The winter in Berlin is very changeable and the lakes do not freeze safely. You still don't have to give up ice skating. Here's a visit to the Sportforum Berlin, where young and old can indulge in cold fun...

 

The Sportforum Berlin is a complex with 35 sports venues. The site, which was built in 1954, is the second largest sports and training center in Berlin after the Olympic Park and is home to, among other things, the Berlin Olympic Base.

On November 17, 1986, the world's first 400-meter indoor speed skating track was opened in the Sportforum, exactly one year before the Thialf Hall in Heerenveen, the Netherlands.

The entire area is between 45 and 50 hectares in size and includes (as of 2015) 35 sports facilities, including three ice rinks, two gymnasiums, a football stadium and a further eight halls and outdoor areas for athletics, handball, volleyball, judo, fencing, archery, beach volleyball and football .
