Get ready for this beautiful and varied 10 kilometre run. You start your lap at the Bad Gams spa gardens. Why not warm up in the park? The playground on site can be a good help.  Now you can start your lap. Walk in the direction of the Gesundheitshotel Kipper. Keep to the right and continue through Müllegg. After the residential area, leave the road and walk right along a field path to the Mühlen-Museum. Follow the L643 for a short distance and after 100 metres turn right onto the field path. Continue at a brisk pace until you reach Gersdorf. On these 2.3 kilometres you will run through fields and forests. With a bit of luck, you might even spot forest animals. As soon as you feel the asphalt under your feet, continue straight ahead for a while. At the crossroads, take the field path on your right. You pass through Gersdorf and continue straight on at the crossroads in Niedergams. At the end of the small settlement area, take the access road to the right - which leads you onto a forest path. Walk along this natural forest path until you reach Bergegg. Take deep breaths and enjoy the fresh forest air. When you arrive in Bergegg, a crossroads awaits you. Take the ashpahlt road to the right. Keep left at the first fork and then right at the next. As soon as you see residential buildings on your left, walk to the right through the forest. After 300 metres of forest path you are back on the road. Follow this road until you reach Furth. You will now see the Farmer Rabensteiner vlg. Graf. This is always worth a visit. You can expect rural handicrafts, award-winning vinegar and oil products, a ceramics room, as well as a gourmet and culinary room. After the Genusswelt Farmer Rabensteiner, take the second road to the left. A path now leads you along the Gamsbach stream, enjoy the quiet babbling of the stream. You will pass the Gamsbad with its lakeside restaurant, where you can also play tennis if you wish, and return directly to the starting point. 
The Bad Gams sports and leisure centre offers a wide range of sports facilities. Swimming, tennis and beach volleyball.
