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.
