3D archery at lofty heights with 24 stations
Brothers from Malta open their second archery course on the Gerlitzen.
Brothers from Malta open their second archery course on the Gerlitzen.
The adventure arena on the Gerlitzen has gained another attraction. In addition to a bike park, a high ropes course and a tubing course, visitors can now also enjoy a 3D archery course. It is operated by Michael and Christoph Koller. And this is not their first course: they also offer archery in their home country of Malta.
"We are delighted to finally be able to offer our bow-and-arrow program on the Gerlitzen," say the brothers, who are motivated and want to create more leisure activities in Carinthia in the future.
There are 24 stations with numerous wild animal dummies on the Gerlitzen. The tour takes one and a half to two hours. "And there really is something for the whole family," add the two outdoor sports enthusiasts. In addition to fun, the course, which is located near the Kanzelbahn mountain station, also guarantees a breathtaking view of the Carinthian lakes.

Archery
🏹 All things archery! No matter what bow or discipline. It’s about sports not hunting (as in “killing animals”)!
A community to discuss the sport of archery in all its facettes but hunting.
Okay wow, it took them years of fighting bias, bureaucracy, and self doubt to be finally on duty as a traffic cop
