Art Nouveau between Castle, East City, and West City
Karlsruhe shows its elegant side on this bike tour: curved lines, floral ornaments, and the signatures of notable architects such as Hermann Billing and Karl Moser. Especially the somewhat hidden Art Nouveau buildings reveal their unique charm by bike, as perspectives and details alternate rapidly. Thus, a city tour becomes a lively view of the cultural heritage of the fan-shaped city.
