Further information

Each lap leads through the pedestrian zone around the Flensburg Galerie and past the central bus station to the harbour basin. From there, the route crosses the harbour tip to the eastern side of the fjord and then heads north along flat roads parallel to the water. Between Volkspark and the Baltic Sea , the route changes to Sonwiker Promenade via the grounds of the sewage works, where the turning point is reached almost at the end. Now the route continues along the fjord back to the harbour, in the opposite direction around the harbour tip, past historic ships and through Flensburg's Nordertor gate, turning south. The route continues through the infamous Oluf-Samson-Gang in the centre of the historic old town with the shoe lines and through the pedestrian zone back to Südermarkt.
