The history of the Nuremberg gingerbread "lebkuchen" dates back to the fifteenth century. They say that even Frederick the third distributed small gingerbread to children for Christmas. Königstrasse translates as Royal Route. It ran from the large round tower to the royal castle. Either the children got their gingerbread cookies near the moat of the royal castle or on this street - it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that everyone had joy.
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.
