Velden is a dreamy town on the Pegnitz, which invites you to take a break while hiking. Here you can stop off and stroll through the pretty alleys. The city tower from 1516 is a special highlight.

Small town on the Pegnitz surrounded by 3 populated mountains. Invites you to go hiking, cycling and climbing.

I think it makes little sense to create a HL for a whole place. Ultimately, this can only degenerate into a potpourri of pictures.
Johanna, however, I also miss at least one photo of you for the HL.
Why do you mention the city tower of all places? If you think he's cool, you could have explicitly created him as a HL and provided us with useful information.
By the way, your information "from the year 1516" is wrong. The tower dates from the first half of the 15th century (i.e. Middle Ages) and was rebuilt in 1516 (stonemason's mark in the archway).
