Wöhrder See, Nuremberg Wöhrder See, the youngest of Nuremberg's waterways, is a popular local recreation area in the heart of the city, providing a natural habitat for endangered species. It is not a natural lake, but was created by damming the Pegnitz River, which flows through it. The idea for an inner-city lake existed as early as the 1930s. The project was approved for implementation in October 1959. In addition to the City of Nuremberg, the State Water Management Authority and the Middle Franconia District were involved in the planning and construction. Recreational concerns were not the only priority in the design. The lake is also part of the extensive flood protection measures after the Second World War. Construction work began in 1968 with the Lower Wöhrder See and continued until 1972. The sand trap above the waterway was built between 1972 and 1975. The final construction phase of the Upper Wöhrder Lake was completed in 1981. Text / Source: Nürnberg Infos.de / Nürnberger Nachrichten https://nuernberginfos.de/gewaesser-nuernberg/woehrder-see.php

The main market is the central square of Nuremberg's old town. Unfortunately, the main market was badly damaged in World War II, and the only architecturally significant buildings left on the market square today are the Frauenkirche and the Schöne Brunnen. The weekly market takes place every weekday on the main market. The annual Nuremberg Christmas market is a particular attraction.

Really beautiful old main market

The 19-meter-high fountain from 1396 is one of Nuremberg's landmarks. Its top is reminiscent of a Gothic church tower

The weekly market takes place every working day on the approximately 5,000 square meter open space. When the main market is used for the Christmas market or other markets and events, the weekly market stalls are moved to the surrounding pedestrian zone.

A walk around the lake can be a lovely family walk. A total of 6.5 km with no elevation gain and a lovely, varied route.

"You gentlemen and women, who were once children, are again today", says the Christ Child when he greets his guests at the Nuremberg Main Market at the opening of the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt. Now, in the cold season, the place really blossoms.

Always fascinating, sometimes more, sometimes less water and again completely different when you walk along the stream bed in dry weather
