Good Climate? – See Karlsruhe by bike and with new eyes

Experience Karlsruhe anew: Follow the urban climate traces by bike

This bicycle tour opens the eyes to what truly shapes urban climate in everyday life: street spaces, sealed areas, green zones, buildings, and squares become stations of an exciting discovery experience. On September 14, 2026, stattreisen Karlsruhe e.V. together with Corinna Wassermann will lead a tour through Karlsruhe and demonstrate how urban design can intensify or mitigate heat. The tour is part of the Climate Adaptation Week and is free of charge according to the organizer. ([stattreisen-karlsruhe.de](https://www.stattreisen-karlsruhe.de/mit-tram-bus-rad))

What becomes visible along the route

At the tour stations, microclimates and urban development become tangible: Where do sealed areas store heat? Where do trees, water, and shade provide noticeable relief? Where do successful examples of climate-adapted planning show what future-proof urban spaces can look like? These questions make the bicycle tour a cultural enrichment for all who want not just to see, but to understand the city.
