The Schleifersteg connects the flea market island with the Fleischbänken on the northern side of the old town. Originally it was a wooden footbridge, which connected the seam market as the flea market island was once called because of the pigs traded there with the meat rows of the main market.
We start the walk from the Big Round Tower on the main street of the city, which leads to the old town through the courtyard of artisans and St. Lorenz Square, to the central shopping area of the town, where the largest Christmas market in Europe took place annually. On the way, we see the famous museum bridge, the monument "Ship of fools", dine in the tavern of St. Sebald and return to the beginning of the path through Schleifersteg and Charles Bridge.
