    The World Heritage Run has been held in Bamberg every two years since 2003. Its historical predecessors are the relay race "Quer durch Bamberg" and the "Bamberg Stadtlauf". This city-running course is one of the most demanding but also undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in all of Germany. In addition to the wonderful scenic highlights of the World Heritage Run, it is primarily the cultural and historical sights that make the World Heritage Run an unforgettable experience. The starting point of the tour is St. Mark's Square. The St. Mark's House of the same name, the former hospital of the city of Bamberg, is home to a faculty of the University of Bamberg. Besides the monastery of St. Michael, which is situated high above the roofs of the city on the Michaelsberg, the cathedral square with its historic buildings is one of the absolute highlights of this tour. But the Laupassagen along the Regnitz and through the Theresienhain also have their own special charm. The last kilometres of the route take us through the beautiful alleys of the city and across the Maxplatz, the central market and event location of the cathedral city.

    We start the tour at Markusplatz. We pass the congress centre and head out of town towards Gaustadt. After passing the Europabrücke bridge, we walk straight ahead up the hill to Caspersmeyerstraße. At the supermarket we leave the street and turn left into Rattlersstraße. After about 100 m we leave Rattlersstraße and walk left into Bamberger Straße.

    From here we walk on a semi-paved path back towards the old town. After reaching the Ottobrunnen, we continue downhill past the St. Michael monastery towards the city centre. Through Karolinenstraße "we meander" through the small alleys of the old town to the lower bridge. Cross the bridge, take a sharp left around the building ..... and back over the lower bridge. We now walk on the left through Schranne and Schimmelsgasse to the upper Mühlbrücke. From now on we walk along the banks of the Regnitz towards Theresienhain. We keep to the left and leave the bank at the height of the Hollergraben and turn off towards the canal.
