Around 45,000 visitors took advantage of the outdoor facilities in the past season and enjoyed the outdoor cure experience. This year, too, the mobile circuit leads through the grounds of the Volksgarten and connects two ice surfaces. There are also 90 meters of running paths and around 1,670 square meters of ice rink available.

Setup takes six weeks

It takes a total of six weeks to set up. Strongly cooled glycol in the cold mats provides the ice in a water-filled base tub. In good time before the bathing season, the circuit will be dismantled again, the lawns will be recultivated and the ice magic will be stored over the summer – its lifespan is up to 25 years.

Auinger: “People long for ice magic”

“The experiences of the last winter season have clearly shown that people are longing for an ice skating offer like the Eiszauber. The employees of the municipal companies have now worked in perfect teamwork to ensure that the ice magic can go into its second season before the weekend. If dying people stick to all the rules, I am convinced that we will get through the winter safely, ”said Deputy Mayor Bernhard Auinger (SPÖ), responsible for sports in the city of Salzburg, in a broadcast on Tuesday.
