The return of the first participants was planned for around 1:30 p.m. on Bürgermeisterstraße, where the home straight was waiting for the exhausted but happy hikers.

"The food was sensational on the way!" Was a frequent feedback among the participants. Many appreciated the commitment of the volunteers and the quality of the snacks. The hikers were later able to end the day in a relaxed and satisfied manner on the marketplace at Essen and drinks.

This year's event was not only a sporting event, but also an excellent opportunity to present Bernau as a sports city. Bernauer Stadtmarketing GmbH informed visitors about local highlights and promoted public perception. The organizers invited all Bernauer and guests to receive the hikers at their destination and celebrate together - a nice end of a successful day.

In summary, it can be said: The 3rd Hiking Hero was a complete success, and the satisfied faces of the participants speak volumes. So many called after the next edition and showed that hiking in Bernau is very popular.
