Monte Kaolino

Monte Kaolino is a sand dune in Hirschau, Bavaria, Germany.

[2] The hill is the only sandsports facility equipped with a ski lift, and used to host the Sandboarding World Championship until 2007.

In addition to the ski hill, there are also camping facilities, a pool, a geopark, and trails.

[5][6] In the past the campsite won several prices: On the south side of the dune an amusement park called "Freizeitpark Monte Kaolino" with several attractions was created.

For security reasons, every sled has got a belt for every passenger and a centrifugal brake which is activated at a speed of 40 km/h.

The inline skating track connects the Freizeitpark Monte Kaolino with Sportpark Hirschau.

[17] The Bayerische Landesamt für Umwelt lists the „Monte Kaolino“ bei Hirschau as a geotope.
