Quarantine blues? This relaxing 5.3km long virtual hike might help with that. Use it as fitness motivation for your treadmill walk or run, your elliptical- or crosstrainer fitness program or power walk. The video is optimized for individual pace adjustments up to running speed.


The hike starts in Altenau, a small mountain town in the Harz mountain range in northern germany. From there it leads through lush summer meadows and different forest types to the Wolves Observatory, a hill summit with one of the nicest panoramic views in the Harz.


Listening to your own preferred kind of music during workout is recommended, especially if your workout equipment drowns out the videos audio.


This video has been recorded with a constant cadence of 120 steps per minute to work well with pace adjustments to your personal preferences. You prefer a run over a brisk walk? Pause the video at the beginning and use the advanced settings of the youtube-videoplayer to change the video speed in 5% increments, with each increment adding another six steps per minute.

Normal speed is a brisk walk.
110% speed is great for power walking.
135% and more is a good choice for virtual running.
