Details for: Fischerpromenade

Brief description

Experience Reichenau on a leisurely walk, a short Nordic walking, or a running round.

Description

Whether you’re looking for a short, leisurely walk, a small Nordic walking route, or a running round: Fischerpromenade has something for everyone. Especially when time is tight or if you want a morning run as a runner, the route is perfect. You walk exclusively on firm ground along the Schwarza, where the river cools the air a bit, especially on hot summer days. Over bridges and through the spa park, you can enjoy the beautiful landscape and also do something for your health. A special plus for culture and architecture fans: the route passes by Reichenau Castle and the parish church of St. Barbara.

If you prefer it more leisurely, you can stop at the park café in between.

Safety information

The promenade is not accessible during floods!
Make sure your choice of route matches your experience and fitness level. Check the weather forecast in advance.

Running tips:

Start slowly to gradually get your circulation going. After about 10 minutes, take a short break with stretching exercises. Vary the pace to increase performance gains. Avoid overexertion, especially on steep sections, rather walk if you lack basic fitness. Follow warming-up and cool-down phases. Let the run wind down and then avoid stretching too intensely!
