Fit into the new year
January is the ideal time to start the new year by being active and making good resolutions. In Monheim am Rhein, this is perfectly possible with a sporty city tour, ice skating or Bavarian curling as well as New Year's walks in the Urdenbacher Kämpe.
New Year's walks in the Urdenbacher Kämpe
The Rhine jungle and meadows invite you to take a short 3-kilometre New Year's walk in the Urdenbacher Kämpe. More ambitious walkers can choose the 10-kilometer routes.
The following applies to all tours: due to regular flooding, the paths can be muddy, so sturdy footwear is recommended. Further routes and information can be found here.
Two fitness areas in Knipprath Woods
On the edge of the Knipprath Woods, two fitness areas invite you to enjoy sport and fitness outdoors, completely free of charge. The two fitness areas offer a variety of stations for every fitness level as well as the right challenge for beginners and advanced athletes.
Sport and fitness in the midst of nature
Fitness area with hanging station, parallel bars and balancing beam
The first of two fitness areas is located on Knipprather Straße. Here you will find, among other things, an obstacle wall, a hanging bar, a jumping combination and a balancing beam for training agility, jumping power, grip strength, endurance and coordination.
Fitness area for strength, agility and endurance
The second fitness area is at the parking lot “An der Tongrube”. Here you can train your grip strength, agility, endurance and coordination using your own body weight. At the stretching station, you can stretch your back and on the “Funky Monkey”, a hanging course, you can do some powerful swinging and climbing.
If you like running or walking, you will find four designated routes between 2 and 5.7 kilometers through the Knipprath Forest at the fitness areas.
