The "Tut gut!" walking trail in Reichenau takes you on a 5.3-kilometer journey through Reichenau an der Rax.
A loop trail around Reichenau an der Rax, starting at Schlossplatz. The trail leads along the Schwarza River to the Färberbrücke, then along the Grünstingbach Promenade, past the wall of Schloss Rothschild to the Matthias Chapel, past the Kobald Inn, and back along Raxstraße to Schlossplatz.
Use of the path at your own risk!
Make sure when choosing the route that it suits your experience and fitness. Inform yourself in advance about the weather forecast.
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 your basic fitness is not sufficient. Observe warm-up and cool-down phases. Let the run wind down and do not stretch too intensely afterwards!
Wear appropriate clothing and good running shoes. Think of rain and sun protection. Take enough to drink with you.
