Is there any place I can jog?
Sure there is. Near the university you have Knoops Park. So all you have to do is put on your sports gear, plug in your earphones walk in the direction of the gate that leads to the bus stop Taunustrasse . There you turn left and go straight forward up to the place. It is about 5 minutes walk. When you happen to recognize the pictures below you can be sure you have reached Knoops Park. Happy jogging!

Wow, it seems like we have plenty of sports to practice in Jacobs! :) That is cool.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask something about the swimming pool - how far is it from campus, do many students go there, is it indoor(so that we can go there in the winter), and how much cost the season ticket, if you know? :)
Ah, and also, I wanted to ask is there golf and/or fencing on or near the campus?
The swimming pool is very close to the campus and yes, there is quite a number of students going there :). It is indoor and the fee is 20 Euros per semester. There will soon be a post giving more info about the gym and swimming pool. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a golf club on campus, but no fencing. There are, though, places in Bremen for golfing and fencing.
Thanks for that information. :) Can you give me some contact information of the golf leader, because I do want to practice golf? :)
