Hiking

The Föhrenbuck - directly opposite the port of Nuremberg - is a genuine garbage and rubble mountain. From 1900, gravel was extracted here, but already in 1920, people began to fill the resulting holes with household waste. During World War II, wartime debris was added, and in the 1950s, the meanwhile handsome mountain was again used as a rubbish dump. Only in the 1960s, the landfill was covered with the excavation of the Main-Danube Canal and renatured. Today there is a large forest area and on the flat summit you have a nice view over Nuremberg.

As of 06/2021 there is hardly anything left to be seen here. Due to the vegetation in summer, everything is overgrown, it is not worth coming here for the view. Maybe it is better in the other 3 seasons.
