Hiking

The herald tower can be found on the wooded slope west of Eschenbach. It lies there less like a tower and more like a seemingly medieval castle ruin. It was built by Carl Wenglein, producer of gramophone needles called “Herold” from Nuremberg, in the first half of the 20th century. The medieval-looking building owes its name to a special needle. The tower is the starting point for hikes on the Carl Wenglein Trail or the Salamander Trail.

Hiking

Very nice nature conservation center with several information boards. The beautiful Herold Tower can be found in the entrance area. The tower, together with a "castle wall", forms an attractive ensemble.

Hiking

The Hutanger adventure area Wengleinpark extends over around twelve hectares and covers around 100 meters in altitude on a slope area between the Pegnitz and Hirschbach valleys that slopes to the south and east. Right at the entrance you will find an overview board with information about the nature conservation center. There are three themed trails, downloads at naturschutzzentrum-wengleinpark.de/wengleinpark.htm.
