Walked past

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

Beautiful islands where swans and ducks frolic.

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.

The northern shore of the Lower Wöhrder Lake is mostly steep – there is no reed belt. This reed belt is not only an important habitat for animals and plants, but also contributes to the self-purification of the water. Therefore, three ecological islands totaling 1000 square meters were created between the sandy beach and the boulevard and planted with reeds such as common reed, cattail, and bulrush.

Originally it was created for flood protection, today the Wöhrder See is a popular local recreation area. The lake has been redesigned: while the lower section with a new bathing bay and sandy beach is attractive for those seeking relaxation, the upper section is reserved for species protection. After the sandy beach, the jetty on the north side and the underwater islands, the "Bay at Norikus" on the southern shore of Lake Wöhrder is another building block on the way to the planned local recreation area "Water World Wöhrder See". A walkable, 400 meter long dam separates part of the water surface from the lake. This increases the flow rate within the lake, and algae and other proliferating aquatic plants grow less vigorously. A bay was formed on the other side of the dam. You can swim here in the summer months. Because the water that flows from the lake into the bay first passes through a regeneration zone with reed plants. This natural plant filter cleans the incoming water.

In 1959 the Nuremberg city council decided to create the Wöhrder See. It was completed in 1981. Before that, the Pegnitz flowed through a floodplain in two arms, which was often flooded. In addition to the flood exposure of Nuremberg's old town, a much-used recreational area was created with the Wöhrder See and the bomb crater landscape in the Pegnitzwiesen, which the Second World War had left behind, was eliminated.
