Ice Skating

On a number of lakes, you can glide over the frozen lake like an ice prince or princess: marvel at the icy surface as smooth as glass. Performing spins on the ice is great fun for parents and kids alike. If you feel unbalanced on your ice skates, no worries. Have you ever tried ice stock sport? This is a funny winter sport similar to boccia and a popular family pastime.
