Get Fit in Graz / Pro Aktiv Forest Meditation Walk
May 13 @ 9:45 am - 12:00 pm
IWA “Get Fit in Graz” forest meditation walk in the Leechwald
In 2024, the IWA entered a collaboration with the Verein Jukus to participate the ‘Pro Aktiv’ project, which promotes movement in everyday life and creates awareness of the connection between exercise, health, and well-being. Our members’ interest in Pro Aktiv inspired us to create our ‘Get Fit in Graz’ group, where we motivate one another to do more sports and movement activities.
We invite you to join us on this special Pro Aktiv / IWA walk in the Leechwald forest on May 13.
We will meet at the Tram 1 end stop (Mariatrost) at 9:45 a.m. and walk up to the Mariatrost Basilica, then continue along the Roseggerweg through the Leechwald forest to the Hilmteich pond. In between, we will take time for breathing and stretching exercises.
Lisa G. and Alena S. from the Jukus Verein will lead this walk and talk about the project.
Note about the location:
At the Hilmteich, you can either take Tram 1 or Bus 58 back into the city. The Purberg Café is also right by the Hilmteich, and members can enjoy a drink after the walk or have a picnic in the meadow. Partners, guests, and children are welcome on this walk. The walk (length: 3.7 km, mostly flat terrain, approx. 1.5 hours) is generally suitable for young children and prams. Please note that you should wear sturdy shoes and take a water bottle with you.
