To distribute the traffic restrictions which are induced by the Blade-Night as
evenly as possible among the Munich population, there are different routes. The routes change from year to year because of construction sites
etc. . For maps of the routes in 2010 see
Northern Route (German: Strecke Nord)
This route was once the longest of Munich Bladenight's routes, but now it was significantly shortened to: 14 kms.
Road sequence:
Theresienhöhe – Bavariaring – Schwanthaler Straße – Paul-Heyse-Straße – Paul-Heyse-Unterführung – Seidlstraße – Dachauer Straße –
Schwere Reiter Straße (ab Infanteriestraße auf der Nordfahrbahn) – Winzerer Straße – Ackemannstraße - Karl-Theodor-Straße – Bonner Platz -
Rheinstraße - Leopoldstraße – Theresienstraße – Augustenstraße – Karlstraße – Seidlstraße – Paul-Heyse-Unterführung – Paul-Heyse-Straße -
Schwanthalerstraße – Bavariaring – Theresienhöhe
Southern Route (German: Strecke Süd)
This route is 16.7 kms long.
The planner of this route have chosen some of Munich's widest roads, but also tried to
avoid any Munich sightseeing targets ;-)
Attention: After about half of the distance we turn northward again and later pass below
a highway. There is a long downward slope for us below it. Please brake carefully and
steadily here. I am tired of the ambulance deployments in this area.
