Tizian Stöckel from Amtsberg in the Ore Mountains is 16 years old and a cycling enthusiast. For a multi-day tour in the summer, he ultimately decided against a city trip and in favour of a route along the PURPLE PATH art and sculpture trail, one of the major projects of Chemnitz 2025, which connects Chemnitz and the 38 locations of the Capital of Culture region through contemporary art in public spaces. In five days, Titian cycled a total of 520 kilometres and 8300 metres in altitude. Chapeau!
