The cycle route leads through a range of different green belt sites, parks and wasteland. At seven points along the route loekenfranke have created so-called »Nature Offices«, where highly contrasting views of nature can be experienced. From the award-winning carrier pigeon to the life-saving canaries through to hawks and falcons, loekenfranke show birds as indicators of the state of our society.

Those who did not have their own bike could rent a bike at the respective start and end point. The route was marked with yellow or black arrows. The seven listening stations were numbered and marked with a QR code which activates a 5-7 min interview about the theme of birds.

Language of the routes: German and English
