フォルストテネンローエのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The dog stone commemorates the close connection between humans and animals in the forest – especially the role of hunting dogs as reliable partners of foresters and hunters.

The fountain stone symbolizes the connection between nature and art in the former military area, which now serves as a nature reserve. Its simple, powerful form blends harmoniously into the surrounding landscape and invites contemplation.

The pond is part of an ecologically valuable mosaic of wet and dry habitats, which is easily accessible via hiking trails.

In the Tennenlohe Forest, alongside sandy areas and heathland, one also finds rare moorland areas and alder swamps. These wetlands are valuable habitats for species such as the yellow-bellied toad, natterjack toad, and various mosses and lichens.

Przewalski's horses, the last truly wild horses in the world, have lived in the Tennenlohe Forest near Erlangen since 2003. Since 2012, they have been supported by Peacock goats, a rare Swiss breed. Together, they ensure that the open sandy areas of the former military training ground do not become overgrown with shrubs – an important contribution to the preservation of rare habitats and biodiversity.

The quarry was first mentioned around 1600 and supplied high-quality sandstone for construction in Nuremberg and Erlangen. It remained in active operation until 1912. Later, a popular tourist destination developed there, complete with an inn, which was demolished by the US military after World War II. Today, remnants of the old rock cellar still remain.

A well-marked circular trail leads directly alongside the enclosure. The starting point is the Turmberg car park. Information panels along the trail provide details about the animals and the history of the nature reserve. Please stay on the marked trails – straying off them poses a life-threatening danger due to remnants of military use.

Since 2003, the last truly wild horses have lived in a large enclosure in the Tennenlohe Forest near Erlangen. They help maintain the open sandy areas by grazing on grasses and young shrubs. A circular path leads around the enclosure – with a bit of luck, you can observe the animals from the path.
