About
حقائق سريعة: On the paths by the water cyclists, walkers and paddlers meet, the atmosphere feels relaxed and is often accompanied by street music and the clatter of bicycle chains. More than 200 trees line the bank, on sunny weekends picnic blankets and colorful bikes fill the meadows.
النقاط البارزة: About 30 small solar lights shimmer warmly along the path, their light reflecting in the calm water and creating cinematic evening moods. Students have a slightly secretive custom of hosting improvised piano and singing evenings on a riverside bench in groups of around ten people, ranging from Bach to modern pop songs.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, paths range from paved promenades to gravel riverside trails.
- Bring a light jacket in spring and autumn, river breezes can be chilly near the water.
- Shoot photos from pedestrian bridges and riverside terraces facing upstream at golden hour for the best light.
- Avoid weekend midday in summer for quieter stretches, aim for early morning or late afternoon instead.
