Traffic chaos in Kulmbach: closures at the Spartan Race 2025!

The time has come in a few days: from June 13th to 15th, 2025 Kulmbach will again become the scene of the Spartan Race Trifecta Weekends. The organizers expect thousands of enthusiastic obstacle runners from all over the world who face the demanding challenges. In order to staged this competition, some changes and closures in traffic are necessary in advance that will be noticeable in the entire inner city area.

As early as tomorrow, June 10, 2025, at 6 a.m., EKU-Platz will be completely closed by June 17th. However, the underground car park remains accessible via the entrance to the roundabout. The drivers also need a good hand in Buchbindergasse, which will be completely closed from Friday, June 13th, from 2 p.m. to Sunday, June 15th, at 8 p.m. Here a detour via Grabenstraße is planned. It will also have a bit more turbulent during the event: On all three race days you can only drive it towards Schießgraben/Karl-Jung-Straße, but the use of parking garage is possible as usual-the first hour is even free.

traffic disruptions in downtown

In addition to the streets already mentioned, June 13, from 2 p.m. to Sunday, June 15th, at 6 p.m. there will be closures and bans on Grabenstrasse. Here the traffic between "old fire station" and "patchwork" will no longer get through. The Sutte is also completely closed from Friday to Tuesday, June 17, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. However, the access to the underground car park remains open.

If you are traveling in the upper city, you should prepare for a comprehensive block on Friday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. From June 14, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., the fortress mountain will also be closed. However, the residents can pass while the city buses are regular-however, the “Dr.-Stammberger-Halle” stop is no longer available. In Fischergasse you have to adjust to a temporary changeover of the one -way street, but here too the access to the underground car park is guaranteed.

weekly market and parking situation

For all regular visitors to the Kulmbach weekly market, it is said on Saturday, June 14th, a stroke to put a strain on the bill, because it is no longer necessary on this day. The next appointment is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18. Many parking spaces in and around the city center are not available during the Spartan Race. From Friday June 13th, 2 p.m. to Sunday, June 15, 8 p.m.

It will also be tight at the outdoor pool parking lot, because it can only be partially usable from June 6th to June 17th. A challenge for everyone who wants to visit the city center during the event. But don't worry - the accessibility of retail and gastronomy remains guaranteed despite the restrictions. City plans and information about the traffic situation will find interested visitors if they are based on the local information and signs.
