This not only marks Oberhof’s fourth time as the venue hosting the World Luge Championships, but also the site of two world championships. After the bobsledders compete against each other, the Biathlon World Championships will take place on the Rennsteig in February 2023. A wave of sheer excitement and fascination for winter sports will take over during this time. People from all over the world will be watching their favorites compete for the top spots, either in front of the TV or at the event itself, and that’s always a fantastic opportunity for Thuringia to showcase itself.
The state government wants to further expand the infrastructure for tourism and sports to make sure it is up to the task of hosting such an event. A total of 50 million euros is planned to be invested and will be used to renovate and improve the bobsled run as well as many other things. The money will also benefit Oberhof's many clubs with children and youth who love sports. (gro)
