As in many other places, there is a war memorial in Velden to commemorate the victims of both world wars. But this is a special kind of facility. The war memorial below the Veldener Stadtmühlen near the Pegnitz river was built after the First World War in 1921 on a hill at the foot of the Wachtberg and renovated in 1957. A path leads along the war memorial with a great view of Velden. Partially unsecured it goes along the slope. Worth seeing.
