Time to Hand Over the Baton in Nuremberg (5,683 km)

(2023-06-23/24) Nuremberg is the 20th and last stage of my tour this year before I head home. So it's time to hand over the baton and who would be more suitable than the enthusiasts, who will be taking part in the Altmühl Classic Sprint tomorrow with their beautiful classic cars? No sooner said than done! But since we have generously overlooked the CO₂ emissions out of sheer fascination for technology, a slow-motion choreography at the Ship of Fools Fountain follows to compensate. The fountain sculpture goes back to "The Ship of Fools" by Albrecht Dürer from 1497. And, almost as ordered, the two circulating banners on the fountain establish the reference to our present as an appeal against environmental destruction, war and violence.
