These services make Parkhotel Bad Griesbach the perfect base for enjoying Nordic walking in one of Bavaria´s most renowned walking regions.

The route begins directly at the hotel and leads first toward the Stephanskapelle, where the circular trail officially starts. From there, the path follows the Panorama Route, passing the Spa centre to the east before continuing on toward Singham.

The tour then takes you on to Karpfham, while the return section gradually ascends, offering gentle inclines and varied scenery. This circular route combines wide views with a pleasant walking rhythm, making it an enjoyable option for relaxed Nordic walking or hiking.

Take long, natural strides, landing first on the heel and smoothly rolling the foot along the outer edge toward the ball of the foot, finishing with a strong push‑off through the big toe joint. Keep your spine upright, avoiding a rounded back and allow a slight forward lean from the hips rather than from the upper back.

Move in a diagonal walking pattern: when the right leg steps forward, the left pole is used simultaneously and vice versa. This coordinated movement ensures a dynamic, efficient gait and helps avoid a short, shuffling step pattern.

Place the pole at a low, flat angle on the ground while keeping your hand closed around the grip. Press the pole firmly backward, allowing the heel of the hand to push into the strap and support the movement.

As the push phase continues, the arm moves clearly behind the body, creating an effective propulsion that supports forward momentum and relieves strain on the shoulders.
