Description

Whether you are looking for a Nordic walking tour, a run or a short hike: the Augenbrünnlrunde is something for everyone. Passing many viewpoints, you can enjoy a fantastic view of Reichenau and the surrounding landscape.

safety instructions Make sure that the route you choose matches your experience and fitness level. Check the weather forecast beforehand.Running tips: Start slowly to gently get your circulation going. Take a short break with stretching exercises after about 10 minutes. Vary the pace to increase performance gains. Avoid overexertion especially on steep sections; better walk if your basic fitness is not sufficient. Include warm-up and cool-down phases. Let the run taper off and do not stretch too intensely afterwards!
