Even back then, spa doctors had recognised that for sustainable cure success, passive therapy such as mud baths or drinking cures must be complemented by physical training through exercise. The beautiful forest-rich surroundings of Bad Elster with their varied terrain structure were ideal for this. Like all terrain cure paths, this path also starts and ends in the centre of the spa. Due to Bad Elster’s location in a valley basin, it begins with a moderate incline, then runs level and finally through downhill terrain.
