The route leads via Ammonstrasse, the tunnel on Wiener Platz, Wiener Straße, the Blüherpark and the Powerzone on Lingnerallee. The first wave starts at 5 p.m., the last one at 8 p.m. Nevertheless, a decisive change was necessary: ​​Due to the collapsed carol bridge, the route was adjusted according to new conditions, such as Sächsische reported.
