„Calisthenics“ in the Rheinaue
„Calisthenics“: A workout that uses your own body weight and simple equipment to train your muscles outdoors. In the Rheinaue near the South Bridge, the manufacturer Playparc has set up a calisthenics station. The equipment combines the parallel bars, horizontal bar, hand-over-hand ladder and climbing bars. It offers the possibility to train the whole body, and includes pull-ups. In contrast to classic strength training, calisthenics is also intended to promote the interaction of all muscles and coordination skills.
Address: Rheinaue Bonn, Ludwig-Erhard-Allee 20, 53175 Bonn, near the "Bonn Rheinaue" bus stop and the Beethoven Monument.
The traditional way: jogging and cycling
You don't necessarily need a course for this, but you do need lots of self-motivation and running or cycling shoes. Running, jogging and cycling strengthen the immune system and keep the cardiovascular system fit. In Bonn and the surrounding region, many routes lead directly along or near the Rhine, for example in front of the dreamlike backdrop of the Siebengebirge or in the middle of the city along the picturesque Poppelsdorf Allee to the Rhine promenade. Those who like to run uphill can also jog along the Venusberg - via the Waldau to the Kottenforst. Mountain bikers also enjoy this route.
