Christiane Pönisch trains regularly three times a week. In addition, the high school teacher also goes to the gym or cycles to work. Her longest competition distance so far has been the half marathon, which she completed in 1 hour and 47 minutes. For the green route through Grünau, we meet at the wooden playground next to the Meri Sauna on the Markranstädt side of Lake Kulkwitz.

First sweat, then swim – that could be the motto for a jogging route around Cospudener See in summer. The nearly 11-kilometer-long route leads once completely around the pearl of the Leipzig New Lake District in the south of the city. Worth a detour is the Bistumshöhe observation tower; climbing it also brings bonus points for fitness. Back at Lauersche Straße (start and finish), a refreshment awaits the runners. The sandy beach of Costa Cospuda is just a few steps away.

In the heart of Leipzig, on the northwestern edge of the city center, there is another running mecca: the Rosental. The large green space offers everything a jogger's heart desires with an extensive network of paths through forest and meadows. A sprint up the Rosental hill with its lookout tower provides an extra kick. But even at ground level, the zoo display window on the Große Wiese offers plenty to see and marvel at.

For joggers who truly want to reach new heights, the Südvorstadt has a real highlight in store: the Fockeberg. The 6-kilometer route from the city edge to Fockeberg and back demands a lot, but rewards with an unbeatable panoramic view over Leipzig - climbing a peak can be this beautiful.

Läuferschatten im Leutzscher Holz: Vom Leipziger Auensee durch den Auewald führt die erste Strecke der neuen LVZ-Laufserie. Der Tipp kam von Roland Reinhold, der 2003 systematisch mit dem Joggen begonnen hat. Mittlerweile läuft der 66-Jährige die Marathondistanz unter vier Stunden. Einem Verein gehört er gegenwärtig zwar nicht an. Dennoch trainiert der Gohliser viermal in der Woche - rund 90 Kilometer insgesamt. Am liebsten im Leipziger Nordwesten und zusammen mit Freunden. Gesellschaft leistete ihm diesmal LVZ-Politikredakteur Roland Herold.

We meet on Kieler Straße, in the parking lot at the sports facility. "Let's see if we can get through at all," Stelzner says anxiously, as it has been raining for days and the Parthe is rising and rising. Undeterred, we set off and first pass under the railway line. After the bridge over the Parthe, we turn right into Abtnaundorfer Park.

We meet at the Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße roundabout. On Anton-Bruckner-Allee, we enter Clara-Zetkin-Park. Although Seller still wants to participate in the team run in Auewald in the evening, this does not stop him from an additional training session now. It soon becomes clear: This run will not be child's play!
So bei der Tour durch die Dübener Heidevon Nicole Liebmann, der Jogging-Strecke entlang der Freiberger Mulde von Leisnig nach Klosterbuch, dem Trainingslauf vom Leipziger Auensee durch den Auenwald, der Strecke durch das Rosenthal im Herzen von Leipzig oder der Runde um den Werbeliner Seeim Leipziger Norden. Auch die anderen Routen der neuen LVZ-Laufserie findet Ihr auf unserem Portal mit Wegbeschreibung, interaktiver Karte, Bildern, Höhenprofil, PDF-Ausdruck und GPS-Track. Und wenn doch mal eine spannende Tour der Leipziger Volkszeitung oder Eure persönliche Lieblingsstrecke fehlen sollte, könnt Ihr sie einfach mit Hilfe unseres kostenlosen Routenplaners nachtragen.
