Nordic Walking in and around Würzburg
Along the Main river and close to downtown attractive promenades such as Leonhard-Frank-Promenade, Kurt-Schumacher-Promenade or Heiner-Dikreiter-Weg are excellent paths for your nordic walking pleasure.
From Würzburg, it only takes 10 minutes to reach the E.ON Nordic Walking Zentrum in the picturesque wine town of Eibelstadt.
Here you can find three blazed trails that range in difficulty from easy to difficult. The trails are marked by signs and there are additional signs informing the visitor about proper technique, warm-up as well as stretching exercises during and after the walk.
