These include well-known classics like table tennis, rock climbing, and track and field, as well as more unusual or lesser-known disciplines such as pickleball, hurling, mermaid swimming, and medieval combat. The range extends from team and ball sports to individual disciplines and fitness. Those who enjoy combining exercise with music can try their hand at dances like salsa or hip-hop, while the combat sports enthusiasts among you can test out judo, fencing, or archery. There are also accessible activities at Königsplatz for people in wheelchairs and those with other mobility challenges. This way, everyone can truly participate.
In total, over 60 clubs and exhibitors await you, transforming Königsplatz into a sports landscape. Not only will you get active yourself, but you’ll also be able to watch exciting competitions. At Minga Warriors, athletes tackle an obstacle course against the clock, while the Trickline World Cup seeks to crown the world’s best slackliner . If you’re more into team sports, you should check out floorball and street soccer instead. Things will get dance-y at Street Dance, where the dancers will wow you with their routines and moves. You can find the full program and a list of all sports on the sports festival’s website.
Join us at the Sports Festival
If you’re passionate about exercise or would like to give it a try, then stop by the Sports Festival. The event is specifically geared toward beginners, so no prior experience in the respective sports is required. It’s best to come dressed in workout clothes, as there are no changing rooms on site. However, you can also try out many of the activities in street clothes, as long as you’re wearing sturdy shoes.
In addition to the competitions and hands-on activities, you can also have your heart health checked on-site. However, you’ll need to book a time slot in advance, as availability is limited. If you’d rather have your bike checked out instead, you can do that at the sports festival as well. In addition, the Department of Health will provide information on heat safety, which is especially important during physical activity in the summer. That’s why there will also be free water on site, which you can use to refill your own bottles. Food trucks will also be on hand to provide you with healthy meals.
