Dangast celebrates the Slippery-Slope Championship
Perhaps the IOC will eventually take a liking to it. For now, however, Schlickrutschen remains a sport where fun is the priority. The German Championship in Dangast has now been decided.
The German Champions in Schlickrutschen have been determined: Among women, Anna Bolk from Oldenburg won, and among men, Thorge Abken from Dangast. At the Schlickrutschen in Nordseebad Dangast, participants must cover a distance of approximately 150 meters on the Wattboden using special wooden sleds. They kneel on one leg on the sled, while pushing the other. Over 1000 people watched the competition. The competition is part of the "Watt en Schlick Festivals", which opened on a Friday.
The eighth German Championships in Schlickrutschen began in the morning with rain, and the sun came out before the semifinals. Men and women, mostly in white tops, raced through the Schlick of the Wattenmeer with all their might.
This three-day "Watt en Schlick Festival" is celebrating its ten-year anniversary this year. Approximately 6000 visitors were expected. On five stages directly before the World Heritage Site Wattenmeer, a total of 75 concerts, readings, and film screenings were scheduled. The event aims to provide festivalgoers with the opportunity to be curious, discover new things, and be surprised and inspired by previously unknown artists and artists.
The Schlickrutschen competition in Nordseebad Dangast is not limited to locals, attracting participants from various regions like Lower Saxony, close to the North Sea. The North Sea's Wattenmeer has hosted numerous international Schlickrutschen enthusiasts, making the sport an enjoyable international event.
