The garden and landscaping show „Nature in Lindau 2021“ inspired – in addition to much worth seeing na ture, landscape architecture, horticultural art and culture – with innovative trend sports facilities. Close to nature and free of barriers, a varied fitness course with TURNBAR stations made of 100% stainless steel winds along the shore of Lake Constance. A sports facility that will be used by active locals as well as many calisthenics professionals, communities and freestylers. Spectacular moves, athletic achievements and unfor gettable moments will be captured in pictures and videos in front of the fantastic panorama. With the aim of not only offering new, safe training opportunities to already active athletes, but also to encourage more people to do more sports and get fitter, there is often the objection at planning meetings that beginners, seniors, overweight people or people with disabilities do not like to train “in public“ - especially not when a few meters away a calisthenics professional is demonstrating the Human Flag. For this reason, separate areas are often created with senior turntables, low-bar sport equipment or wheelchair dip benches, which actually contradict the idea of holistic inclusion. The TURNBAR at Lake Constance is a good example that this assumption is wrong in many ways and that a modern sports facility should be placed as present as possible in public. “Nature in Lindau 2021“ was designed to be holistically inclusive – and so is the new sports infrastructure. All sports equipment on the fitness course is accessible without barriers and offers numerous training options, regardless of age or training level. 80
Equipment course with much variety The seamlessly grouted fall protection sports floor begins with an open area (for running games, floor gymnastics, Yoga) and winds through an equipment course with different focuses around shady trees to a kiosk with seating. Creative markings, agility patterns, and linework on the sports floor inspire more simple exercises without sports equipment while guiding you from station to station with variety. Located directly on the West Promenade with an exposed view over Lake Constance stands the heart of the fitness course: a TURNBAR with nine Templar-profile poles, which is just as suitable for numerous fitness exercises or preventive sports as it is for freestyle and calisthenics. This multifunctionality in combination with a well-chosen public location and the inclusive concept behind it makes the fitness course in Lindau a popular attraction not only for active athletes. It has become a point of attraction for sb 5/2021
