Closure Dates: June 10 – August 5, 2025

As part of the Perlen Hotel (formerly Grove Hotel) project, the trail area between the Hotel Emma and Brewmeister Alle bridges will be temporarily closed for construction. This work includes modifications to the existing retaining wall and installation of a new second retaining wall.

Please follow the detour routes below to continue your walk or ride safely:

  Exit the river trail and use the Hotel Emma bridge to access the east side river trail via the elevator or stairs.
