"Walk and talk" through Bocholt city centre

Be sporty, chat and meet people: That's what the public walking tours through Bocholt city centre offer on the first Thursday of every month. The next ones will take place on 7 July and 4 August 2022. Interested citizens can take part. Participation is free of charge. Meeting and starting point is the Zukunftsbüro (Nordstraße 49). To register, please call 02871 2048 429 or email zukunftsstadt(at)bocholt(dot)de.

Exercising together in a group while enjoying the fresh air and summer. The open sporty walking offer through Bocholt city centre, which is offered by the "Zukunftsstadt" project every first Thursday of the month, combines all of this. Under the slogan "Moving Bocholt", the offer combines moderate, brisk walking or walking with movement exercises in various places and locations in Bocholt's city centre.

The free exercise programme is organised by the "Zukunftsstadt" project. The walking tour lasts approximately one hour.

The focus of the walking tour is on moving together, which is why it is also called "walk and talk". However, this offer also focuses on the urban development of Bocholt's city centre - and how this can be perceived as a space for exercise opportunities. The sports programme is organised and accompanied by Marie-Luise Klein, a volunteer in the City of the Future project.
