When there aren’t any mountains, tradition comes to the rescue! The sledding hill at Große Wiese may not be spectacularly steep or extremely long, but it’s a piece of local history for many of the city’s residents. The fact that you can have so much fun here with so little effort fits perfectly with the stereotype of the frugal people of Gütersloh, who are said to be able to “graze on ice.” A modest but beloved winter gathering spot.
