Sport Hiking Weeks on HealthTrails

"Hiking and Heart Health" - that is the motto of the Sport Hiking Weeks at the Schüchtermann-Klinik in Bad Rothenfelde. Enjoy the beauty of nature and improve your activity and fitness level on the "Wanderherz" (hiking heart) HealthTrails.

The special location of the Schüchtermann-Klinik nestling in the Teutoburg Forest has inspired a project group to investigate hiking under consideration of sports science criteria.
Hiking on the HealthTrails is exactly the right approach to keeping your heart intact even if your heart illness forces you to slow down the pace.

A special scheme within the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases combines health aspects with the gentle endurance sport of “hiking".
Today, hiking is considered a real sport, because sport is no longer characterised by showing top performance but by exercising a physical activity that contributes to health and fitness.

As the hiking routes have been tested under sports science criteria, it is possible to choose the proper hiking trail for your individual capacity considering both your physical and cardiac fitness.

The hiking tours are accompanied by therapists, licensed health hiking guides and physicians in order to ensure utmost safety for you.

Information on this special hiking scheme and further medical details is presented to you once a week in a regular orientation meeting in the Schüchtermann-Klinik.

Please feel free to visit this meeting without advance reservation any Tuesday from 4 p.m. to about 5 p.m. in the lecture hall of the Schüchtermann-Klinik, room 170.
Our service personnel at the reception will be pleased to show you the way.
