Diverse Jogging Routes

Waldfeucht offers numerous jogging routes that can be perfectly adapted to different fitness levels: from beginners to advanced runners to professionals.

• Short speed workouts are ideal if you want to achieve faster times or simply want to complete an intense run. A popular route runs along the forest at the foot of the High Fens and is perfect for this.
