Along meadows, over green alpine pastures, by sparkling mountain lakes... Walking and running in Tannheimer Tal is not only the best training for the body but above all balm for the soul. The starting points for all those eager to move lie in the six villages Tannheim, Grän-Haldensee, Nesselwängle-Haller, Zöblen, Schattwald, and Jungholz. From here, walkers, Nordic walkers, and runners follow the signs. They are easy to recognize: figures with sticks. Moreover, all routes, as well as ski slopes, are classified into the categories black, red, and blue. An optimal classification which, among other things, has contributed to the fact that this probably most beautiful high valley in Europe has officially been called a "Running and Walking Competence Center" since 2005.
