Silbersee (Volkspark Dutzendteich)

Beautiful small lake in the local recreation area "Volkspark am dozen pond". There are a lot of waterfowl here, great place to take nature pictures. The Silbersee also represents the last visible relict of the largest excavation pit in the Nuremberg area, the "German Stadium" in the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds. In the post-war years, the central Nuremberg rubble dump was set up here and huge amounts of household waste and some critical industrial waste, paints and oils were dumped. The Silbersee, which is about 10 m deep, is still heavily polluted with hydrogen sulphide.

Here you can walk around the lake on a pleasant path or climb the Silberbruck. However, various signs point out the bathing ban. The lake is heavily contaminated with sulphur.

The Silbersee offers many great photo opportunities, which can be reached in the local recreation area via many beautiful paths
