ヴァイエンツェルの湖・トップ20

Very nice circular hiking trail

It's a beautiful place! Totally idyllic.

The core area of the protected area is not accessible all year round. From March 1st to July 31st, the area outside of the paths is not accessible to protect animals and plants. Dogs must be kept on a leash

The only nature reserve in the city of Ansbach with an area of 52 hectares. The eponymous Scheerweiher was created in the Middle Ages as a fish pond by damming two streams. Since then, the pond has developed into an ecologically mature body of still water in Middle Franconia. Coming from Schalkhausen, there is a car park immediately after the railway underpass. The unmarked circular path around the nature reserve leads from the car park to the small observation tower, which offers a beautiful view of the extensive pond area with just a few steps. Following the road, you reach the Scheermühle via the Scheerweiher dam. The water from the pond was used to operate the Scheermühle, which was built in the 17th century, until 1930. This is indicated by a wooden coat of arms in the gable of the roof of the half-timbered house. Continuing through the forest towards Neudorfer Mühle, the path finally leads in an arc back towards the car park. The last section of the path runs along a former road, parallel to the railway tracks, back to the starting point. More than 60 species of birds breed in the area, and toads and newts use the nearby pond to spawn. Over five thousand common toads form one of the largest populations in the Franconian Heights natural area.

The Sonnensee is located in the Frankenhöhe Nature Park and to the east of Flachslanden and Kettenhöfstetten. The natural bathing lake is the perfect destination for a day of swimming or camping. At the Sonnesee you are in a natural environment. Anyone looking for peace and nature is in the right place here. The campsite and the guesthouse at the Sonnensee are also located here.

Beautiful, not so small lake with a campsite but also with free access and benches.

The quiet section around the Aicher Weiher is very idyllic. Especially the small hairpin bend with the exposed rock always puts a smile on my face.

There are some benches from which you can observe and enjoy nature and the pond.
