Description

Whether you are looking for a short, leisurely stroll, a small Nordic walking route, or a running round: the Barbarapromenade is something for everyone. Especially when time is tight or if you want a morning run as a runner, the route is perfect. You move exclusively on firm ground along the Schwarza, where the river cools the air slightly on hot summer days. Over bridges and through the spa park, you can enjoy the beautiful landscape and do something for your health at the same time. 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 relaxed, you can stop by the park café in between.

Equipment Wear suitable clothing and good running shoes. Remember rain and sun protection. Take enough to drink with you.
