Hiking, walking or jogging – they all have a long tradition in Leipzig. The first Marathon to take place in Germany was hosted in Leipzig on 5th September 1897. At the time only participants from Leipzig were allowed to enter – but that was then.
Today a large number of walking enthusiasts make use of the paths in Leipzig's green spaces - and there are plenty of them.
Particularly attractive and healthy is walking in one of the many parks of the city or in the Auenwald floodplain forest.
