The path starts at Theater am Goetheplatz, location of several museums, just east of Old Town. The north side path, called the contrescarpe, runs through a thin park along the Stadtgraben River, to Doventor. Just short of 3 km, it loops around to the south side, where paths pass through the Wallanlagen, a park built in the 18th century on the site of the city’s walls. There are sculptures, lovely landscaping, and a moat. There’s a path along the water and several interior paths.
Add-Ons/Combinations: Can connect to our Weser River route in Alstadt, or our Kleine Weser route in Neustadt.
