New this year: Curling and the synthetic ice rink “Kufenglück”
A winter highlight awaits visitors to the Duisburg Christmas Market this year: for the first time, there is a curling rink made of high-quality synthetic ice, where young and old can show off their skills. Whether playing with friends, family, or colleagues – this new recreational activity brings lots of fun and perfectly complements the festive Christmas market experience. The rink is covered, so it can be used even in bad weather. In addition to curling, the new synthetic ice rink “Kufenglück” invites visitors to enjoy additional winter activities. The high-quality synthetic surface provides the familiar skating fun. Both attractions enhance the festive Christmas market offerings and add even more variety.
