With the balance bike through the old town of Görlitz

From Obermarkt and Görlitz-Information walk via Plattnerstraße and Büttnerstraße to the St. Nicholas‘ Tower (Nikolaiturm). Next to the tower in Hugo-Keller-Straße you will find the first playground. A side trip into the Nikolaivorstadt can be recommended. Visit the park "Lunitz 12B" with the "dance carillon" here. There are bronze panels which are in-ground and below them there are little bells. If someone jumps or dances on it, sounds are created. Not far from here the Holy Sepulchre, St. Nicholas' Church and St. Nicholas' Cemetery are located.

Go back via Nikolaistraße and pass St. Peter's Church to reach the Old Town Bridge (Altstadtbrücke). The pedestrian bridge connects the two parts of the European City Görlitz/Zgorzelec and is a symbol for the two cities growing together.

Now walk along the Polish bank of the Neisse River towards ul. Cienista, where another playground is located south of the "John Paul II" city bridge. It was created in 2013. It is easily accessible via the pathes in the park of the Neisse Park, which is located to the west of the Dom Kultury. Walk via the city bridge back to Görlitz and into the city park, where you will find one of the most beautiful playgrounds in Görlitz. Finally follow Uferstraße along the Uferpark towards old town. Here you can visit another playground at the Ochsenbastei. The Ochsenbastei is a green area between the former inner and outer city wall. From here it's only a few minutes to walk to Obermarkt.

Information: If you don't want to go to the Polish side, you can walk from the Old Town Bridge along Uferstraße in the direction of the city park.

 

Please pay attention to the signs at the playgrounds.

As you will also visit the Polish part of the city during the tour, all family members have to have an identity document with them.

You can drive directly to Obermarkt by car.
