As a health and spa town, nordic walking is very important in Bad Urach. We feel, nordic walking is not a passing trend, but an ideal opportunity to promote your own health and movement, with lots of fun and a great way to enjoy the most beautiful landscapes of the Alb.
Bad Urach's large Nordic Walking Park with a specially signposted network of paths offers you optimal conditions for a varied exercise and training programme. This route leads to the Urach waterfall.

Wegbeschreibung
We take the level path along the romantic Brühlbach stream to the foot of the well-known Urach waterfall, which plunges 37 m into the depths, and enjoy the view of the heights. A small, narrow trail turns right at the edge of the forest before we turn into the shady Schießtal valley. Continue ever so slightly downhill on a gravel road at the foot of the Runden Berg. We now pass the club grounds of the Fanfarenzug Bad Urach (club house open at weekends) and then turn into the small asphalt road that quickly takes us back to our starting point. The route is ideal for children and Nordic Walking beginners.
Ausrüstung
Sturdy shoes and nordic walking poles are needed for this tour.
Sicherheitshinweise
Sturdy shoes and Nordic walking poles are recommended for all tours, particularly after and during rainfall and in the winter months, the limestone rock and soil can be very slippery, especially on slopes. We also point out the presence of natural forest hazards. We ask you to exercise caution.
In an emergency, always dial the number 112. If necessary, please mention that the people involved in the accident are in inaccessible terrain, so that the Bad Urach mountain rescue service is also informed and there is no unnecessary loss of time during the rescue.
On the hiking signposts of our trails, you will find a plaque with the exact location number on it. The location number consists of the letters BU and a max. 4-digit number. Communicating this number to the control centre in an emergency, helps to provide assistance faster.
