Segway - Tours in Waldecker-Land
Have you never driven Segway before?! Then you have the opportunity to experience a sightseeing tour with this new and innovative means of transport through forests, land and places. A completely new driving feeling and an ultimate driving pleasure for young and old – and especially for those who are a little lazy but still like outdoor. How does a Segway work?! Segways are electrically driven and self-balancing. The driver stands between the two wheels arranged side by side on a platform and holds on to the steering bar. The Segway is steered by tilt motion, i.e. it drives in the direction in which the driver leans. As soon as the inclination sensors register that the driver tilts forward or backward, the wheels rotate in this direction. The simple control does not require "introduction", guests can intuitively control the scooter after a few minutes and move out on an adventure tour. Tours: There are tours throughout the whole of Waldecker Land and the neighbouring Sauerland: various tours at Lake Eder, Twistesee, Frankenberg, Korbach, Bad Wildungen, Nationalpark, Willingen, Winterberg, Orketal... etc. Details and impressions of the individual tours can be found on the homepage of segytour.de Standard tours 2 hours and cost about 60€ per person, 5 hours Daily tours 100€ Requirements for participation: from 14 years of age body weight 45-120 kg Helmet duty (helmet is imposed) absolute alcohol and drug ban weatherproof clothing and firm footwear (no high heels) Tip: click video HERE!
