The Walk of Health

The Walk of Health is a 36-kilometre (22 mi) long concrete walkway that runs alongside the Kopet Dag mountain range in south Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, near the Iran\u2013Turkmenistan border. The concrete walkway is split into two sections: Leader's Trail, which is 8 km (5.0 mi), and Serdar Trail, which is 28 km (17 mi). The beginning of the Walk of Health is marked by an archway in Serdar Health Park. It is accompanied by metal fences on either side of the path, as well as street lamps so that it can be illuminated at night. Numerous statues and sculptures line the walkway, with pavilions every kilometer for resting. The highest point of the walkway reaches 1,293-metre (4,242 ft.), which is marked by a flagpole displaying the flag of Turkmenistan.
