FRILUFTSLIV HIKING CHALLENGE HOSTED BY THE WOMEN’S COMMITTEE OF CINCINNATI PARKS
Our free 6-week winter hiking challenge, which began on December 14th, embraces nature during these colder months.
Friluftsliv (pronounced free-loofts-leev), is one Norwegian word that encompasses the significance of bonding with nature, whatever the weather. It means Free, Air, Life – literally! And where better to experience that than in YOUR Cincinnati Parks? We’ve challenged you to pull on your all-weather jacket, some good shoes, and a sense of adventure to get outdoors this winter season!
Did you miss the first few weeks? No worries! You can complete this challenge on your own time and enjoy some fresh air and activity outdoors.
