Village run (Dörferlauf)

Open
Running or walking route for all those who love the demand on themselves. Due to the length and the numerous small and larger climbs, the runner is challenged here.
The village run (variant 2) is particularly suitable for challenging training. The start and end point is in front of the entrance to the spa house. This variant leads you via the donkey trail through the forest and through a ravine back to the starting point. Please pay special attention to surefootedness here! It is the section on the donkey trail that makes this variant of the village run even more challenging.
