    Hiking

    The world's first cycle path was enlivened with art installations of the so-called Zabrating art. These 5 steles with pictures by the artist Horst Hamann create different image views depending on the point of view.

    Hiking

    Mannheim had the world's first bicycle path.
    Drais completed the first test ride on June 12, 1817, from Mannheim to a horse-changing station seven kilometers away and back again. Powered only by muscle power, the "velocipede" reached an average speed of 13 kilometers per hour, beating the stagecoach by far.
