One of the highlights of the HINTERINDIEN.DE tour no. 93: The “Kaiser Pond”

Simply pure natural idyll 🦆

It is very beautiful here

A great natural area with lots of ducks, geese and swans. Can be easily observed from a lookout tower.

with a small observation tower to observe all types of water birds in their habitat. The pond actually only has a few open spaces, which was completely ok for us since the verse. Animals have their natural retreat.

Great view of the pond with water lilies.

THE ERNSTHULL WHERE EMPEROR CHARLES IV LET HIS HORSES DRINK "At the Ernsthüel" directly borders the Altstraße Nuremberg-Eger, which Peter Zweidler's hand-drawn map of the "Pfleg Veldenstein" from August 28, 1598 is impressively documented. This shell (water reservoir) was artificially created and has probably served as a water point since the Middle Ages for the old road, which led from Nuremberg via Plech and Auerbach to Eger. The dirt road here in Plech, which is inconspicuous today, is also known as the "Eisenweg" and was once an important long-distance trade connection, on which the people of Plech, whose medieval iron smelters existed as early as 1285, brought their products to Nuremberg. Even Emperor Charles IV, who visited Auerbach five times from 1363 to 1378 probably passed the Ernsthüll and perhaps left his horses here soak. The Ernsthüll, which was almost completely silted up, was at the end of November 1996 exemplary by the government of Upper Franconia and the forestry office in Pegnitz restored.

The dirt road was once on an important trade route. A bank invites you to linger.
