At the Mooraculum mountain playground, you can rent kick scooters to ride down the mountain instead of the gondola. We typically do this after visiting the big playground and doing the short Sundew trail with activities related to the senses and moor.

Details

There’s no official minimum age, but your child needs to be tall enough to reach the handles and the ground. You also need enough hand strength to control your speed with the brakes. So probably about 7-8 years old.

There are several different styles and sizes, smaller ones for little legs, lightweight ones with thin tires and heavy ones with big fat tires.

The views are lovely the whole way down. We also met some friendly cows and goats on our way.

The route is mostly a paved road, quite easy to navigate. When we reached the valley, there was a dirt path next to the river but we chose to go back on the sidewalk along the main road to reach the bottom of the Rossweid gondola where you return the scooters.
