Advancing transportation accessibility for seniors

The city of Marburg is expanding its open movement offers with the introduction of a new senior movement offer, specifically catering to the elderly. This exciting new initiative starts on the 27th of August, from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM, in the tranquil setting of the City Forest.

This senior movement offer is designed for elderly individuals seeking gentle, low-pressure exercises for health. The exercises offered are tailored to individual abilities and knowledge, ensuring a safe and effective workout for all participants.

The senior movement offer is not connected to any advertisements, as stated in the text, and is part of the city's comprehensive concept for movement and health promotion. The offer is not repeated on days other than the fourth Wednesday of each month, making it a consistent and reliable event for seniors in the community.

The senior movement offer is one of the open movement offers initiated under the project "KOMBINE" (Kommunale Bewegungsförderung zur Implementierung der Nationalen Empfehlungen). This means it is part of a larger, nationally recommended effort to promote movement and health.

Participation in the senior movement offer, along with all other open movement offers, is free of charge. The senior movement offer is also connected to the senior café located at Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Straße 16 in the city district center Stadtwald.

While the specific organiser of the senior movement offer in the City Forest is not explicitly stated, it is clear that the city of Marburg is at the helm of this initiative. This is a wonderful opportunity for seniors in Marburg to maintain their health and well-being in a supportive and enjoyable environment.

So, mark your calendars for the 27th of August and join the senior movement offer in the City Forest. It's a great way to meet new people, enjoy the outdoors, and take care of your health. We look forward to seeing you there!
