Sometimes you need an external push to get moving.
Gitte Halbeck from Poing wants to encourage people to go out with health and singles hikes.
Poing - A rehabilitation clinic in the Allgäu, a good two years ago: Gitte Halbeck is being treated for burnout.
Because the landscape is so beautiful all around, she wants to go hiking.
Moving, doing good for your body and mind.
Because the clinic does not have a corresponding offer, she sets out on her own.
And asks others if they'd like to go.
"That's when I noticed that some people find it difficult to get up and move around," the 55-year-old says today.
Because she noticed how good exercise is mentally and physically, she stayed with it after the hospital stay.
She is completing an apprenticeship at the German Hiking Association and is now a certified hiking guide and health hiking guide.
Now she is offering courses for the first time at the Grafing adult education center.
Offer for newcomers and those returning to work
The offer is aimed at hikers new to or returning to hikers, explains Gitte Halbeck.
Easy round tours in the Ebersberg district, two to two and a half hours.
Title: "Getting in motion".
Without much effort, emphasizes the poinger.
The goal is not a summit, but the path and being with others (how large the number of participants in the hikes is currently depends on the current corona incidence value).
Events
The health hikes are offered on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. on a total of five dates:
March 21 (Egglburger See)
April 18 (Zinneberg, Tour 1)
May 16 (Purfing)
June 20 (Zinneberg, Tour 2)
July 18 (Hohenthann).
The fee for all five hikes is 80 euros.
The single hike takes place on Sunday, May 9th, from 9.30 a.m. to 2.30 p.m.
Start is in Bad Endorf.
Participation fee: 35 euros.

As the name suggests, health is the focus of “health hiking”.
Both practically and theoretically.
For each hike, Gitte Halbeck selects a topic, which she briefly lectures on and which is talked about.
For example: stress, strain.
"I want to give food for thought," says the poinger.
Even more, she wants to motivate people to move.
Certified hiking guide
This also applies to "single hiking".
Singles hike together because a) some who are alone find it difficult to get up at all, and b) it is sociable with others.
Motto: "Have fun and less alone."
Both forms of hiking are suitable for all ages, says Halbeck.
In the “health hike”, she adds simple sporting exercises during the route that “can also be done at home in everyday life”.
All tours take place on Sundays, so the excuse “I don't have time” should be more difficult.
And if you think: “I don't feel like it, no motivation”, Gitte Halbeck's courses offer you a reason to change your mind.
