Highlight • Settlement

This deer figure stands on the Pegnitz Bridge in Velden, a rare beautiful specimen. The life-size deer sculpture is an eye-catcher and not only popular with children. Worth seeing.

After a long time, I went on a road bike ride with my Winora vintage racing bike... 🚴‍♂️
First along the beautiful Pegnitz valley to Neuhaus a.d.Pegnitz/Mosenberg, Plech, Hormersdorf, Kirchensittenbach and Hersbruck. To finish off, I had a good ice cream in the ice cream oasis. Spring is here; the ice cream oasis is open and very well attended 🍦
