Königssee bobsleigh

The Königssee bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track is a venue in Germany for bobsleigh, luge and skeleton, located in Schönau am Königsee, Bavaria, near Königssee and the border with Austria. Completed 53 years ago in 1968, it is the first permanent, artificially refrigerated bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track in the world.

In 1967, Königssee hosted the European luge championships on a naturally refrigerated track. Later that year, it was decided to construct a permanent, reinforced concrete structure that was artificially refrigerated. The track, initially for luge, was completed in 1968. The first international competition took place the following year with the FIL World Luge Championships
