The ramparts encircle the old town largely free of traffic, allowing you to see some elements of the old city fortifications at first hand. Little remains of the original 15 fortifications and four large towers, which were reinforced in the 14th century with moats and ramparts. Today, the ramparts serve primarily as a recreational area, or rather, a walking area. The numerous panels with historical images along the rampart path offer striking comparisons of the past with the present. You can see that not everything is necessarily better today (at least visually).

Nice walk on the former city walls of Göttingen. Once around the city center!

Running

The distance around the Göttingen city wall is about 2.8 km.
It is popular with walkers, Nordic walkers and runners alike.
Nevertheless, there is always enough space for everyone.
