Lage AOK-PLUS Bewegungsparcour an der Ecke Theunertstraße/Schloßstraße

On 15 July 2020, the new section of the exercise trail diagonally opposite the Schloßteichhalle (Schloßstraße/Theunertstraße) was opened.

The Chemnitz exercise trail is:

  • a modern outdoor sports facility with the best opportunities for individual and group training;
  • accessible to anyone who wants to do sport in their free time;
  • a combined multi-generational area with elements of a fitness trail and a playground.

Background

Since 2018, the Healthy Chemnitz working group has been working across the topics of physical activity, growing up healthy, nutrition and a healthy environment and has been shaping health-promoting processes in Chemnitz in a sustainable and target group-orientated manner. In the area of exercise, this includes not only exercise programmes, but also the design of outdoor facilities that promote exercise as part of urban development measures.

The course was created in cooperation with the City of Chemnitz (Healthy Chemnitz Working Group), Department 6, the Citizens' Platform Centre, the Children and Youth Officer and AOK PLUS.
