Gaspedal Rötenbach

FriedenweilerHochschwarzwald

The first electric go-kart track in the Hochschwarzwald: electric karts through the forest instead of combustion engines on asphalt.

Three kinds of kart for different ages: the forest kart with electric pedal assistance for laps on the woodland course, the powerful monster kart for the off-road circuit and, since May 2026, the mini kart for the smallest drivers.

There is also a restaurant serving hearty local cooking and a sun terrace overlooking the track – you can easily spend a whole afternoon here.
