Vertical Weser View:
House Running Bremen
Fancy a little stroll? Straight down the silo from a height of 34 metres? Imagine taking the lift up to the tenth floor. You step onto the roof of the John & Will, walk past the legendary Kellogg’s sign – and climb a ladder up to the starting platform. Bremen and the River Weser stretch out beneath you. Don’t forget to breathe! Because now it’s straight down. One step at a time. Goosebumps already? Then let’s get going!
Hot it works:
Book or give as a gift
You book your ticket online, submit a participation declaration and arrive at the Barception of the John & Will Silo Hotel, Auf der Muggenburg 50, 28217 Bremen, at the specified time. You can also buy a voucher via the booking link and give the gift of adventure.
Getting secured
After your welcome and check‑in – and once your pockets are empty – our team members fit you with a special harness. Everything is checked several times, and you are secured with a double safety system.
Going up
Afterwards, you take the lift to the 10th floor and then go up one further level via the stairs. From the stairwell balcony, you can already get a glimpse of the starting platform. Once our staff give you the signal, you head out onto the roof area – passing the iconic Kellogg’s sign on your way to the starting platform, which you reach via a ladder.
Going down
After the hanging check, two members of staff clip you into the ropes and secure you with a double safety system. You lean forward over the edge – and simply start walking. Completely normal, step by step. As house running is much easier than you might think, you’ll not only experience an adrenaline rush, but also fantastic views over Bremen and the River Weser.
