For a total of 15,155.4 kilometers covered by the schoolchildren, the city of bamberg rewarded the hard-working walkers with a lasting prize: a lime tree bearing a donation plate from the school.

Now christian lange, second mayor of the city of bamberg, officially handed over the sponsorship certificate for the tree.
