At Potsdamer Platz in Berlin a \u2018Winter\u2019 fair has already opened with a ski slope! Something different than the \u2018standard\u2019 skating rink!<\/p>\n

Every year more cities are hosting an authentic ‘Christmas or Holiday’ fair at the end of the year. The most beautiful locations for Christmas fairs in the Netherlands are in the South of Limburg (Valkenburg<\/a>), but also in Leiden<\/a> where the Christmas fair is located on water… Both with skating rinks, an addition to the winter fun at Christmas fairs.<\/p>\n

Dry Ski slope at the Christmas market instead of an ice rink<\/h3>\n

Last week I spent a couple of days in Berlin were we visited the \u2018Winter\u2019 fair at the Potsdamer Platz<\/a>. They don\u2019t have a skating rink (yet), but one can glide down a ski slope on tires. It is a dry ski slope with some fake snow from which one can glide on snow tires.<\/p>\n

In my perception a dry ski slope is much more sustainable than an ice rink! Furthermore, winters are rare therefore children can\u2019t learn how to skate on natural ice, so the group that knows how to skate is getting smaller. \u2018Rutschen\u2019 from a slope on a snow tire is a lot easier! ^ Marjolein<\/p>\n
