Route 6 will start from the former B 14 directly east of Heilsbronn, travel eastbound, and end at the Volksfestplatz in Fürth. Route 7 will start at Langenzenn, Würzburger Str./Alte B8 in a southern direction, and end at the Volksfestplatz in Fürth.

The gathering points for the demonstrations are as follows: Route 6 will gather directly east of Heilsbronn, north of B 14, and Route 7 will gather in Langenzenn, at the intersection of Würzburger Str./Alte B8. The meeting/departure of both routes is planned for around 7:00 AM, and the planned departure time for both routes is not specified, but the end of the demonstrations on the Volksfestplatz is planned for around 1:30 PM.

It's important to note that disruptions are to be expected due to the demonstrations, as no convoy has been registered for the return journey of either route. The route in the district of Fürth for both routes may still be subject to change. Unfortunately, the names of the persons or groups organizing the leadership of the demonstrations on routes 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 on January 12, 2024, in Fürth and its surroundings are not publicly available at this time. The Volksfestplatz in Fürth is the planned end point for both routes.
