 The Preda-Bergun toboggan run is fun for kids both big and small

I’m definitely not supposed to be travelling backwards. Especially since I just passed a speedometer saying I’m sliding at 16mph and my fellow thrill seekers are hurtling down the icy slope towards me with grins on their faces stretching from ear to ear. Tobogganing is simple enough until you encounter a bend, when it’s imperative you dig one heel into the ground and the opposite bum cheek into the sledge to make a turn. Not doing so will often result in my current predicament, which has conjured a few laughs and a mildly concerned look from our Outdoor Butler, Aleksandra.
