The fitness trail in St. Georgen is a facility that serves to maintain health. It was initiated in 1972 by the St. Georgen Free Voters and built together with the town. Since then, the municipal public works department has been responsible for the maintenance of the equipment and the trail.
New sports science research has revealed how certain exercises can be carried out more efficiently since 1972. In addition, after more than 35 years, most of the equipment was really getting on in years.
n 2009, the St. Georgen Free Voters took this as an occasion to initiate the renewal of the St. Georgen fitness trail with great commitment, hard work and dedication. Helpers were recruited, sponsors were sought and the town and as well as the tourism department were brought on board, after which work began on renewing the fitness trail, a project that is very rare in Germany today. Equipment was replaced, the paths were straightened and the signposting updated.
