The tour is part of the Climate Adaptation Week, conducted by stattreisen Karlsruhe e.V., and is open to all interested parties - no prior knowledge is required.

From Sealed Surfaces to Green Oases

At several stations, it becomes visible how streets, buildings, squares, and green spaces influence heat development in the city.

Thus, the ride becomes a lively discovery experience that sharpens the view of the urban space.

Urban Planning You Can Touch

The tour connects local history with current expert knowledge about climate-adapted urban development. Karlsruhe is located in the Upper Rhine Valley and is considered by the city administration to be among the municipalities with particularly high average temperatures in Germany; at the same time, the city is working with climate adaptation strategies, framework plans, and sealing concepts for sustainable solutions. These interconnections will be illustrated during the tour and made tangible with examples from the urban space.

Positive Examples and New Perspectives

The focus is not only on problem areas but also on successful developments. The route highlights places where climate-adapted planning is already having an impact today, thus providing a cultural enrichment with concrete added value for everyday life, mobility, and quality of stay. Those who know Karlsruhe will experience the city from a new, reflected perspective.
