Wöhrder Wiese, Nuremberg The Wöhrder Wiese is an inner-city green space along the Pegnitz River and Lake Wöhrder in the center of Nuremberg, south of the Wöhrd district. It is part of the Franconian Sand Axis. Below the weir of the Lower Wöhrder Lake, the Wöhrder Wiese is bordered by the Pegnitz River and its southern branch. The area is intensively used by recreationists and athletes, as well as for leisure and cultural events. From May to September, the Wöhrder Wiese is home to the Sensory Experience Center, as well as beer gardens in the summer. Cyclists and pedestrians cross the Wöhrder Wiese on their way from eastern Nuremberg to the city center. The six-hour run takes place annually in March on a circular route.

Wöhrder See, Nuremberg Wöhrder See, the youngest of Nuremberg's waterways, is a popular local recreation area in the heart of the city, providing a natural habitat for endangered species. It is not a natural lake, but was created by damming the Pegnitz River, which flows through it. The idea for an inner-city lake existed as early as the 1930s. The project was approved for implementation in October 1959. In addition to the City of Nuremberg, the State Water Management Authority and the Middle Franconia District were involved in the planning and construction. Recreational concerns were not the only priority in the design. The lake is also part of the extensive flood protection measures after the Second World War. Construction work began in 1968 with the Lower Wöhrder See and continued until 1972. The sand trap above the waterway was built between 1972 and 1975. The final construction phase of the Upper Wöhrder Lake was completed in 1981. Text / Source: Nürnberg Infos.de / Nürnberger Nachrichten https://nuernberginfos.de/gewaesser-nuernberg/woehrder-see.php

A walk around the lake can be a lovely family walk. A total of 6.5 km with no elevation gain and a lovely, varied route.

Good for meeting up with acquaintances and friends.

Also very interesting from a historical perspective. On the Wöhrder Wiese, a monument in the form of metal stacks of paper commemorates the construction of the first German paper mill.

The Wöhrder See in Nuremberg is a very beautiful lake. You can go for a nice walk there and also take a break in the cafes that are there. There is also a sports area which is really well laid out. There is also a very large playground for children that has been built really nicely and the children can let off steam there.

In 1959 the Nuremberg city council decided to create the Wöhrder See. It was completed in 1981. Before that, the Pegnitz flowed through a floodplain in two arms, which was often flooded. In addition to the flood exposure of Nuremberg's old town, a much-used recreational area was created with the Wöhrder See and the bomb crater landscape in the Pegnitzwiesen, which the Second World War had left behind, was eliminated.
