ブルクオーバーバッハの天然記念物・トップ20

It's a beautiful place! Totally idyllic.

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.

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

A special eye-catcher in the center of Ansbach is the Leonhart-Fuchs-Garten, named after the botanist and margravial personal physician Leonhart Fuchs, who became known for his late medieval herbalism. With the splashing of the fountain, the park invites you to explore the effects of the herbs and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. (Source: https://www.ansbach.de)

For pedestrians only, just park your bike in front of the bridge.

Beautiful wooden jetty around the bird island with a lookout tower including a wonderful view over the lake.

Nature reserve, limited access!

Many water migratory birds breed at the NSG Scheerweiher. Benches along the pond invite you to rest and watch the birds. On the small lookout tower you can watch the birds from an elevated position.
