ParKur Sorpesee

Multi-generation Course “ParKur Sorpesee”

The Langscheid spa gardens have always connected the popular lake promenade with the center of Langscheid. The “ParKur Sorpesee”, conceived in May 2018, offers a varied program for outdoor sports enthusiasts at 44 exercise stations for strength, skill and endurance. At the latest since the beginning of the Corona pandemic, we have known about the relevance of open-air fitness, which has since gained greatly in popularity.

The ParKur Sorpesee in Langscheid invites young and old to get active on the sports and fitness equipment. Fun, sport and skill are clearly in the foreground of this course. And the best thing is: you almost always have a great view of the Sorpesee while you are doing sports.

In October 2020, the ParKur Sorpesee was extended by a so-called “Sport Box Special Edition”, with which training equipment can be borrowed free of charge using a smartphone app. The turnbar itself has been extended by several elements, so that longer monkey bar routes are now possible. Entry or exit can be via a climbing rope. New wall elements also enable static strength training on climbing elements; two additional pull-up bars minimize waiting times in front of the individual devices.

The multi-generation exercise park ParKur Sorpesee is a funding project of the European Union, the state of NRW and the Sorpesee GmbH. In the summer of 2018, the first part of the multi-generation course was installed in the Langscheid spa gardens on the Sorpesee and expanded in a follow-up project to include the Sportbox and various equipment.
