Different rules: Guest ice stock sport in Bichlbach

Thomas Kätzler has been organising the guest ice stock competition in Bichlbach for many years. But what does it actually involve? What are the official rules of ice stock sport and what makes this romantic evening event so special? Thomas tells us.

 

It’s quiet, and the lighting’s romantic. You can see your own breath in the crisp cold. This is Bichlbach during chilly February. In summer, though, it’s a different picture: ‘The sports and leisure club was started by my father-in-law many years ago. In the summer, we have a bathing lake, climbing forest, miniature golf, and a tennis court here. There’s also a small restaurant. At that time, ice stock sport based on the official rules was very popular with the locals and guests,’ says Thomas, indulging a pleasant reminiscence.

Regular ice stock sport needs a full team and takes quite some time, which is why the guest ice stock competition was created. Thomas and his wife will be organising the event for the eleventh time this year.
