Strangers do not know the Marktstrasse in Backnang from this perspective! The reason is very simple: the market street leads right through the heart of the city, but it has been a one-way street for many years and visitors get the other way around by car. Anyone who has already participated in the fantastic New Year's Eve run will remember this passage with horror: behind you, Jürgen traditionally whips all participants up the steep road for a run and the spectators stand crowded in the trellis and fire them Runner frenetically! The whole thing happens 4 times for each runner and only after the fourth and last round runs or goes (depends on the condition) seen from here after about 50 meters exhausted but overjoyed to the finish !!!

In the background, by the way, you can see the Backnanger Rathaus, one of the most magnificent half-timbered buildings here in the area, if not in all of Baden-Württemberg.
