Get your heart and circulation going
Jog your stress away and get fit on our three carefully balanced paths.
Terrain cure trails
What exactly is a terrain cure? Behind the rather complex term lies a simple principle: the combination of light movement over an extended period under favourable climatic conditions in an appealing environment.
Terrain hiking or Nordic walking trains the heart and circulation, reduces stress, strengthens the immune system and promotes health and relaxation. Three terrain cure trails in Bad Nauheim invite you to do just that. All the routes have been bioclimatically and physiologically measured and can be used with minimal exertion or for jogging and walking under medical supervision. With different lengths, inclines and difficulty levels, the terrain cure trails are suitable for both beginners and advanced runners who want to test and gradually increase their performance.
The starting point for all three running tracks is Gradierbau (blackthorn graduation tower) I, near the town library. Here, you'll find a large information board with detailed descriptions of the routes and their respective elevation and performance profiles. From there, the differently coloured signposts direct you to your desired route. The signs also provide information on the type of trail, route number, difficulty level and remaining kilometres.
