Nordic Walking Park Irsental
Dynamic walking with two sticks is considered one of the healthiest sports. Almost everyone can learn it quickly and easily. The “Erholungsgebiet Irsental” association opened a Nordic walking fitness park in the Irsental. Four different routes, named after their sponsors, lead through the “Ginsterheiden Nature Reserve” and the “Valley of the Butterflies”. Three routes each are accessible via the entrance in Irsental and in the center of Daleiden.
The route "Im Pfenn" leads over 5.2 km,
the "Natural Stone Metz Route" over 7.2 km,
the "Weiland-Bau-Route" over 9.8 km and
the "RWE route" over 15 km.
Important aids for everyone are 64 directional signs, 2 start boards with routes and profiles, useful information about Nordic walking technique as well as warm-up and stretching exercises. The Daleiden running community is the operator of the park and offers courses, meetings, etc. for anyone interested.
