Eisstadion Inzell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eisstadion Inzell (also known as Ludwig-Schwabl-Stadion) is a stadium located in Inzell, Germany, best-known as a speed skating venue. It is an outdoor, artificial ice, rink, located 690 metres (2,264 feet) above sea level and has a capacity of 20,000 people. Since its opening towards the end of 1965, more than 80 world records in speed skating have been broken here, and until the advent of speed skating arenas, it was known as the fastest European speed skating rink, second in the world after the Medeo rink.

The stadium is also used for ice hockey, ice speedway, and (in the summer months) roller skating.
