Pegnitz Valley East Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Nuremberg is full of green oases and since December 2018 parts of the Pegnitz have been designated as the Pegnitztal Ost nature reserve. Stroll along the Pegnitz, have a picnic in the shade of the huge trees - as a city dweller you don't have to go far to get into the countryside.

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.

On the last day of my two-week bike trip, I spontaneously decide to interrupt the train journey home in Bavaria in order to be able to add another day of touring a little closer to home.
