Nordic active - natural experience for body and mind

With Nordic walking you not only improve your fitness but also strengthen upper body, arm, and leg muscles, actively promoting your health. Using the poles in Nordic walking increases calorie consumption by an average of 25% compared to normal walking. To feel comfortable while Nordic walking, you should warm up specifically at the start, walk at the correct pace (i.e., in your individual heart rate zone), and perform strengthening/stretching exercises after exertion phases.

The Thuringian Forest is ideal for Nordic sports. The beautiful mountain landscape offers ideal conditions.
