You meet at Heinrich Heine Allee, laces tight, breath visible or warm depending on the season, and the Rhine is already pulling at the edge of the city—daring you to follow its curve. The route moves through the Altstadt, across the Rheinkniebrücke and along the Rheinuferpromenade toward Oberkassel, alternating cobblestones, riverside promenades and compact city parks. The guide paces the run to your ability, pausing for stories, skyline views, and quick photos.
