12th Edition of a Spring Tradition
"Aufsteigen" is an annual cycling fair and leisure mile that Herzogenaurach hosts every May in its city centre. 2026 marks the 12th edition—a tradition that has heralded the cycling spring in Herzogenaurach since the early 2010s. The event combines a compact cycling fair with a tourism mile for the Nuremberg region and broad family entertainment.
Cycling Fair with Over 15 Exhibitors
The exhibition stands in the city centre will showcase bicycles, e-bikes, accessories, and service offers. These include major brands (Herzogenaurach is home to divisions of Schaeffler/Continental and is in the sphere of the Adidas/Puma sports industry) as well as local bike shops and service providers. The town's Radt'sch Mobil—a mobile bicycle service—will also be present.
The Leisure Mile
Alongside the cycling fair, the Leisure Mile will present tourism highlights from the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region. Tourist offices from across the region will introduce excursion destinations, outdoor locations, cycling routes, and cultural offerings—from the Franconian Wine Country to the Hersbruck Switzerland and Franconian Switzerland. It's an open information exchange for day trips by bike.
STADTRADELN Kick-off
The cycling fair marks the start of the annual climate protection campaign STADTRADELN (Cycle for Climate), which runs in Herzogenaurach from May 9 to 29, 2026. Teams compete to collect as many cycling kilometres as possible for climate protection. A ceremonial group ride will reach the market square at 12:00 p.m., followed by a welcome address from the town's leadership.
Weekly Market in Parallel
The traditional weekly market will run concurrently with the cycling fair, offering fresh regional food and specialities. Food trucks and snack stands will provide culinary options throughout the morning.
Herzogenaurach—Cycling City of the Metropolitan Region
Herzogenaurach is a town in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district with around 25,000 inhabitants, and the headquarters of several global brands (Adidas, Puma, Schaeffler). In recent years, the town has consistently invested in cycling infrastructure, making it one of Germany's most bicycle-friendly medium-sized towns—the cycling fair reflects this profile in the city centre.
Aufsteigen Cycling Fair — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the cycling fair continues the tradition maintained for over ten years: concentrated into one morning, with a dense offering of bicycle brands, local service providers, and extensive tourism information from Region 5 (Nuremberg Metropolitan Region).
The highlight is the ceremonial group ride at 12:00 p.m., where STADTRADELN teams from various city districts ride together to the market square—the official start signal for the three-week climate protection campaign.
