Bobová dráha v košických Kavečanoch represents the first summer bobsleigh track in Slovakia, offering visitors a dynamic ride with views of the hills of Čierna hora and the surrounding nature.

The location is situated in the borough of Košice - Kavečany, in the district of Košice, in the Košický kraj region. The track is approximately 800 meters long and its stainless steel chute is designed with several sharp turns and terrain bumps that enhance the riding experience. The speed of the bobsleigh is controlled by the visitor using a handbrake, which allows for a smooth sightseeing ride as well as an adrenaline descent at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour. Transport to the top of the slope is provided by a lift, so the rider remains in the bobsleigh the entire time, which increases both comfort and the smooth flow of the attraction. The track is sensitively set into a grassy slope that is regularly maintained during the season, and benches and rest spots for spectators are built in the surroundings. Thanks to its location near the largest zoological garden in Central Europe, the bobsleigh track is an integral part of family trips within Košice. Operation is dependent on weather conditions and is usually suspended for safety reasons during rain or heavy frost. Night rides, which are occasionally organized during the summer holidays, add a mysterious atmosphere and a unique lighting character to the entire place.

What can you find here?

In the area, you will find a stainless steel bobsleigh chute with carts for one or two people and an elevator mechanism for transporting the bobsleighs. A ticket office, a snack bar offering drinks and fast refreshments, toilets, and a spacious sitting terrace are available. In the immediate vicinity, there is a parking lot and the main entrance to the area of Zoologická záhrada Košice.

Who is the place suitable for?

The attraction is ideal for families with children, while younger children (usually up to 6 years old) can ride accompanied by an adult in a two-seater bobsleigh. It is also sought after by young people and school trips who appreciate the adrenaline dimension of the ride and competitiveness when measuring achieved times. Given the nature of the activity, regular sportswear and sturdy footwear that facilitates getting into and out of the carts are recommended.

What can you visit in the surroundings?

Right next to the track is Zoologická záhrada Košice with the popular DinoPark, which are among the biggest tourist attractions in eastern Slovakia. You can also visit the Vyhliadková veža Hradová observation tower, from where there is a panoramic view of the entire city of Košice and Košická kotlina. For history lovers, the area of Košický hrad with an educational trail and open-air archaeological exhibitions is accessible nearby.
