Hike Into the Bavarian Summer with Danielle!
MUNICH — (MunichNOW Fitness)– If you’re new to Munich, you may have noticed mountain sports feature heavily in the weekend activities category. Hiking in the spring and summer is an easy activity to get you out of the city to clear your mind, get in some cardio and work on endurance all while taking in some killer scenery.
Editor’s Note: This is the first of a series of weekly posts from Evolve Fitness in Munich. Danielle has written this inaugural article on getting started with Bavarian hiking.
The sense of accomplishment reaching a peak just can’t be replicated. You can easily see your progress as the towns shrink away into the distance and the only sounds you hear are the birds and the steady thud of your feet hitting the path in front of you.
While your heart is pounding and legs are burning you’re not only increasing your overall physical health but your mental health as well. According to a report from the Institute for European Environmental Policy, access to nature reduces depression and obesity.
