This diverse route leads through Hamburg's largest public park in the west of the city. The path explores the extensive grounds of the Altona Volkspark, following a mixture of broad park paths, shaded forest trails, and well-maintained gardens. A central highlight is the contrast between near-natural woodland and artfully designed areas such as the dahlia garden or the school garden. In the old oak and beech stands, squirrels, tawny owls, and various songbird species can be brilliantly observed, while the park serves as a "green lung" in the urban environment. The route is mostly flat with only gentle hills and is ideal for an extensive stroll, a run, or a family outing in the immediate vicinity of the Barclays Arena and the Volksparkstadion.
