The spa active route starts at the Quellenhaus of the Erlebniswelt Feengrotten and is the connecting path between the two spa locations "Feengrotten" and "Bergfried". Over about 2 kilometers, you can enjoy unique views over Saalfeld city alongside yoga and relaxation exercises and exercises on sports equipment. The path first climbs along the Feenweltchen until reaching the Saalfeld city forest. To stay on the spa active route, the path continues on the left along the forest edge. Here various yoga exercises and great views await. The route then goes downhill back onto the field path connecting Feengrotten and Bergfried. Those who want to shorten the route can return to Feengrotten from here. Those who want to extend the route go right towards the hiking car park, where various sports equipment and a yoga platform are also available.

Author’s recommendation

Especially suitable for Nordic walking

For stress-free navigation, the author recommends using the GPS track of the route (GPX). Navigation with a GPS device or a smartphone app significantly facilitates finding the way in some sections.
