The two outflows in the north and south flow in different directions and converge again via other river systems near Bamberg. This system turns Franconian Switzerland into an "island."

Here you can let off steam, whether by bike, on foot, with a longboard or with inline skates. The Pegnitz cycle path begins in Neuhaus a. d. Pegnitz and leads to Bayreuth.

At the cycle path underpass through the federal highway, a small, mostly gravel path branches off to the bird watching station at Craimoosweiher, about 150 m away. From there you can see almost the entire pond and watch the birds. It is particularly beautiful at sunset when the setting sun is reflected in the water.

Cold, windy, pure nature experience. Very good bird watching station with armrests and perch.
