Walk & Talk
Active route
Do you need a short break with fresh air and exercise? Then take advantage of the active circuit organised by University Sports Service Bielefeld!
Students and staff alike can clear their heads and recharge their batteries at various stations along the short circuit. The individual stages can be easily accessed via QR codes distributed along the route and completed at will. The route should take a maximum of 25 minutes including execution time.
The active route begins in the university hall at the VNW exit. Between teeth W and V, the route follows the "Obere Randbedingung" in the direction of the biology greenhouses and the sports field. From here, the route follows the "Dynamik" along the CeBiTec - Centre for Biotechnology building towards "Universitätsstraße". The route ends in the university hall between building sections E and D.
