View of the Pegnitz River in Lauf

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a wonderful view of the weir and the Pegnitz. This has a length of about 113 km.
The river name goes back to the name "Paginza" from 889 and is seen as a derivative of "flowing water".
The source is located in the city of Pegnitz.
North of the inner city of Fürth, the Pegnitz merges with the Rednitz to form the Regnitz.

Gründlachpark Heroldsberg

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

The Gründlachpark is a local recreation area in Heroldsberg, which offers a variety of possibilities to spend your free time outdoors when the weather is nice. Along the river Gründlach you can actively and passively enjoy the interesting and beautiful surroundings away from the traffic. A paved path for pedestrians and cyclists runs through the entire park. Especially for cyclists who want to ride through Heroldsberg, the path through this park is a very nice alternative to the main road.

Spectacular view

Highlight • Viewpoint

Behind a small bush you will find a rest bench from which you have a sensational view towards Franconian Switzerland. Perfect for a short break during the bike tour and especially beautiful in the evening hours when the last warm rays of the sun sweep over the valley.

Cycle path along the Pegnitz

Highlight • Cycleway

The location on the Bundesstraße is more prominent. The traffic volume is considerable and the noise level is high. The Pegnitz is not visible in this section. Positively, the sufficient width of the bike path, even with oncoming traffic, as well as the excellent surface should be highlighted.
