- Description
-
The Small and Large Kurpark circuits are very suitable for shorter training sessions or even recreational walks. A great advantage of these two routes is the possibility to easily vary the duration and intensity of the workout. Along the way, you'll also find benches to rest on at regular intervals and much of the trail is illuminated. However, with two short climbs and a total length of 2,500 m, this route is a bit more demanding without demanding top athletic performance.
- Directions
-
The Great Kurpark Circuit has its starting and ending point on the park side of the Kurhaus. You walk along the Kurhaus and the Sulzbach, at the crossing point you keep slightly right and meet the Sternpromenade. Turn left here, then slightly left again and right onto Brunnenstraße. After the old dairy, take the connecting path in the direction of Bucheweg and walk along Krügelei and via Krügeleiweg back to the spa park.
Via Schnurbaumallee you reach the Fachhochschule, where you immediately turn right again. Now walk to Villa Max in the spa park, past it in the direction of the main square and from there via Brunnenstraße down to the spa house.

Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.
