The Bobsleighclub Dresden took over the railway in 1910 and extended it to the summit of the Scharspitze (808 m above sea level). The previously wooden curve elevations were massively expanded with natural stones, which were lined with snow bricks and iced over in winter. The length of the run varied depending on the snow conditions between 1900 m and max. 2200 m. In January 1912 the opening race took place on the demanding track. This bobsleigh run saw the last major championships between 1926 and 1930.
