Nor­d­ic Walking

For Nordic walking enthusiasts, the area around Bad Weißenstadt offers 14 varied routes of different difficulty levels and lengths.

Nor­d­ic walk­ing is by no means a new sport. As early as the 1940s, cross-coun­try ski­ers were using Nor­d­ic walk­ing to pre­pare for the winter sea­son – although back then it was known as “ski walking”.

You can do it any time and any­where. Nor­d­ic walk­ing can be done on your own, but above all it is an activ­ity for groups. Once you have a reas­on­able com­mand of the sport, you can adapt your tech­nique so that a fairly sporty begin­ner and an advanced Nor­d­ic walk­er can walk togeth­er in the same group. That is one of the great advant­ages of Nor­d­ic walking.

The Nor­d­ic Parc Fichtel­ge­birge is par­tic­u­larly well suited to this. Around Bad Weißen­stadt there are 14 routes in total, cov­er­ing a wide range of dif­fi­culty levels, with lengths from 2.1 km to 13.9 km.
