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

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.

In the small but wildly romantic gorge, the Röthenbach flows over a length of around 300 meters, partly between heavily weathered sandstone rock formations up to five meters high. At the entrance to the gorge, close to the town of Röthenbach, the stream has created a small waterfall; The river drops three meters over two small steps. In the subsequent rock sections, impressive erosion, smaller caves and weathering can be found, and further along there are also remains of previous rock falls. The sandstone banks of the upper Keuper can be clearly seen on the impact slopes and other outcrops. In the wide Kerbsohlental below the gorge, the stream then meanders in wide arcs.

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

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.
