Experience Karlsruhe anew: When urban design makes climate visible

This bicycle tour opens the eyes to the invisible forces that shape Karlsruhe on warm days. On the occasion of Climate Adaptation Week, stattreisen Karlsruhe e.V. will lead to places where streets, squares, buildings, and green spaces influence the microclimate and where climate-adapted planning is already becoming visible. The tour is suitable for all interested parties and starts at Pavillon K at Ettlinger Tor. ([karlsruhe.de](https://www.karlsruhe.de/umwelt-klima/klimaschutz-klimaanpassung/klimaanpassungsstrategie))

City tour with a change of perspective

Between sealed areas, shaded islands, and green spaces, urban development becomes directly experienced. The route shows how heat is generated, stored, or mitigated, and why trees, water bodies, and unsealing are becoming increasingly important for livable city centers. The city of Karlsruhe itself states that heat and climate adaptation in urban areas are central tasks.

Local history meets urban climate

The ride connects cultural heritage, current urban planning, and concrete examples from everyday life. Guests can expect a vivid exploration experience with stations that make the city's transformation tangible, instead of abstract theory. Karlsruhe is regarded as particularly heat-sensitive in the Upper Rhine Valley according to municipal specialist pages and has been working for years on adaptation strategies for heat and heavy rain.
