Over 85 sports were practised in Chemnitz, many of which could be tried out during the week. For example, speed skating – but without any ice – on a slippery mat, or wheelchair basketball, where everyone was allowed to try out a sports wheelchair.
Those who felt like doing sports in a group could take part in one of the many tours, hiking, inline skating or, for the little ones, balance biking, and discover Chemnitz and the region.
At the end, a Chemnitz selection from the district association played against the traditional Fortuna team from the twin city of Düsseldorf.
