Barbarapromenade in Reichenau

The promenade is not accessible in case of flooding!

Make sure the chosen route matches your experience and fitness. Inform yourself beforehand about the weather forecast.

Running tips:

Start slowly to gradually get the circulation going. After about 10 minutes take a short break with some stretching exercises. Vary the pace to increase performance gains. Avoid overexertion, especially on steep sections; better walk if you lack basic fitness. Include warm-up and cool-down phases. Let the run wind down and avoid stretching too intensely afterwards!

Wear suitable clothing and good running shoes. Remember rain and sun protection. Take enough to drink with you.
