Timeline

    The Great Print

    Arrive at The Great Print. This gallery showcases physical Bitcoin art, including pen drawings, sculptures, and frames created with low time preference. Since the hours are by appointment, this is your starting point for a focused, quiet viewing.

  2. 10:45

    ROBA BUONA Gelato artigianale

    Walk three minutes to ROBA BUONA Gelato artigianale for a scoop of ice cream. It is open from 10:00 to 16:00, making it the perfect quick stop to enjoy outside while the afternoon light is still bright.

  3. 11:00

    Totentanz

    Take a 25-minute walk southwest to the Totentanz park. It is a peaceful green space that offers a calm contrast to the gallery's intense focus. The walk is straightforward and takes you away from the main thoroughfares.

  4. 11:45

    Strassburger Denkmal

    Continue the walk (41 minutes from the anchor, or a slightly longer route from Totentanz) to the Strassburger Denkmal. This monument commemorates the help Strassburg received from Switzerland during the Franco-Prussian war. It is a significant historical site to end your walk.
