On The Other Hand See Canoeing And Sailing:Sports for personal participation are as varied as your own wishes may suggest. Golf is practiced on courses near most big cities, but more typical German sports ,are canoeing and sailing on the country's myriads of waterways and lakes, mountain hiking, and, in season, skiing. Bavaria's Alpine slopes provide the chief skiing region.
Sports for participation run strongly to sailing and swimming, but a more thrilling, and perhaps dangerous, sport is canoeing on some of the country's rushing torrents, notably in the Drina. In winter, especially in northern Croatia, skiing comes into its exciting own. For comment on the mighty ski jump of Planica see the concluding portion of Sifted Sights above. Other skiing regions are in Bosnia and on the Sar Mountains, in northern Macedonia, where international skiing cup races are held.
