The outdoors

About 25 minutes by train from Weingarten, lies Lake Constance. In the warmer months, it's ideal for swimming, windsurfing and sailing, or simply making a campfire. The RWU Academic Sailing Club RWU Academic Sailing Club has parked its fleet here. Around the lake, the Lake Constance Cycle Path runs for about 260 kilometers around the lake, through Switzerland and Austria.

The nearby Alps, the highest mountain range in Central and Southern Europe, are an Eldorado for mountain sports enthusiasts. Beautiful hiking trails, breathtaking views and snow-white ski slopes await you here. Ideal for a day trip or weekend getaway.

University sport

The university sports program takes place together with the PH Weingarten and is organized by the PH. On the PH sports grounds with indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, gymnastics hall, tennis courts and stadium behind the RWU main building, in the so-called Töbele, the general university sports take place from Monday - Thursday, 6:00 pm - 10:30 pm.

The offers range from A for aerobics to soccer, karate, swimming and V for volleyball. The exercise instructors are students themselves, and about 40% of the students at the two universities take advantage of the free offer. The university sports start about 2 weeks after the RWU lectures begin, because the PH always starts later than the RWU with the lectures.

All information and current courses can be found on the PH website of the sports department Sport.
