    The Hornau pond is considered the origin of the Altmühl, but it is probably the nearby deer pond.

    The Hornauer Weiher, which is considered the official source of the Altmühl, is located far away from traffic, quietly on the outskirts of the town. Here you can relax, swim and also have a barbecue.

    Not far from the Horauer Weiher, idyllically situated in the forest, is one of the three sources of the Altmühl River. The pond can be used as a bathing lake.
