Winter Magic in Monheim Mitte: Ice Skating, Curling & More
Amidst this Christmas idyll, you can find an ice skating rink on Eierplatz. The icy winter pleasure invites both young and old visitors to lace up their skates or join in the popular game of curling. Across 425 square meters, you can spin rounds and pirouettes to your heart's content. This special winter sports experience is open from November 28, 2025, to January 11, 2026. It's a free delight for groups as well as families and individuals. Those who prefer to simply watch the activities will find a warm and cozy spot in the new two-story Winter Chalet. Hot and cold drinks, along with a selection of culinary delights, are the perfect way to round up your Christmas shopping day.
