The Milchweg in Bamberg is a footpath that crosses a valley from Sternwartstraße with a staircase and ends in the street "Am Friedrichbrunnen". Since the planetary trail was opened in 2014, our planetary system has been shown along the Milky Way, making the route even more attractive and instructive.

Lots of old steps, some of which are far away, which have to be walked carefully, as none of them are straight. It is very shady for the 200m of the Milky Way (once steeply down and then steeply up again) and so green and overgrown that it gives the impression of being in the jungle. A very unusual stairway!
