Sport is a big deal in Erfurt. Exceptional athletes such as Olympic gold medal winning speed skater Gunda Niemann-Stirnemann either started their sporting careers or crowned them with success here.
State-of-the-art facilities are available for both elite athletes and recreational sports, and you can cheer on top teams and enjoy high-calibre competitions too.
Erfurt offers many ways to be active, whether in a club or down the gym, in climbing centres or in the great outdoors.
The city’s many running events provide opportunities for all ages to get moving.
