There’s a true Eldorado waiting here for tennis cracks. The tennis park offering both indoor and outdoor courts is second to none!
If you feel like testing how fit you are, then try the fitness trail at Reichenbach or Tiefenbach or the one starting at Renksteg that passes right along the Stillach river. Table tennis, volleyball, fishing, horse-riding, cycling, summer skating, archery, crazy golf, shooting or skittles all provide great entertainment for the whole family. You don’t always have to go breaking records! Some people’s hearts beat faster when they see a rare flower, others prefer to train their inner calm by watching the clouds pass by. Lastly, it is also very important to keep your mind fit, and you can do that by taking part in a game of garden chess or at the free library in the kurhaus.
On the water, in the air or on the ground: the scope of possibilities is so varied that you’re bound to find the discipline that suits you best.
This must be the only place in the world where you can find health treatment and sauna areas in 300 year old farmsteads, breakers under a glass roof (which enables you to sunbathe even in the winter) and precious stones from Hildegard von Bingen’s doctrine of salvation. Where? In the phenomenal crystal health and recreational baths, of course!
Take a quiet dip into the softer waves of the Freibergsee. This bathing lake is one of the warmest of the high mountain region.
Ski jumping in August? Why, certainly! During the summer mat-jumping season you can marvel at the spectacular high-altitude jumps even when the temperatures are up in their eighties! On certain evenings you can even watch the jumping by floodlight - and that’s certainly something to tell the folks back home!
Both at Oberstdorf and Reichenbach: as many as two mud baths within a stone’s throw invite you to swim and relax.
You will find the Gebrgoibe golf course very „striking“, considering it has one of the most scenic greens in the whole of Germany.
Saddle up at the St. Georg riding stables at Tiefenbach where you will find an indoor riding arena and a large outdoor arena which is heated in the winter. Or keep yourself on the trot and try the pony-riding at Oberstdorf or Tiefenbach.
