Blokarts

Fun and active nature experience with wind in the sails, for the whole family and always with skilled instructors.

They can drive pretty fast, up to 70 km/h on the windiest days.

Typically, it does not take longer than 10-15 minutes to become a blockchain driver and therefore children from 6 - 8 years of age are able to drive alone. If you have smaller children, it is possible to drive a tandem, so you drive 2 people together.
