Sonnleitenrunde

Make sure that the route you choose corresponds to your experience and fitness level. Check the weather forecast in advance.

Running tips:
Start slowly to gradually get your circulation going. Take a short break with stretching exercises after about 10 minutes. Vary the pace to increase performance gain. Avoid overexertion, especially on steep sections — better to walk if your basic fitness is not sufficient. Include warm-up and cool-down phases. Let your run wind down and avoid stretching too hard afterwards!

Wear appropriate clothing and good running shoes. Think of rain and sun protection. Take enough to drink with you.
