Since 2003, the last truly wild horses have lived in a large enclosure in the Tennenlohe Forest near Erlangen. They help maintain the open sandy areas by grazing on grasses and young shrubs. A circular path leads around the enclosure – with a bit of luck, you can observe the animals from the path.

The Dechsendorfer Weiher (Großer Bischofsweiher) and the almost equally large Kleiner Bischofsweiher were created in the Middle Ages by the Bamberg bishops as carp ponds. Due to the large water surfaces and the immediate surroundings, both ponds are of great importance for species and biotope protection, especially for water birds. The Dechsendorfer Weiher are a popular destination for those seeking local recreation due to their proximity and closeness to nature. The pond is used as a bathing pond; however, use was restricted by the algae problem. The bathing ban is also announced locally and by clearly visible signs or signs at the bathing area. The fields to the west of the ponds are in the Sandachse Franken nature conservation project and the forest areas of the Markwald directly adjacent to the east are protected forest. The entire area is a landscape conservation area. The Dechsendorfer Weiher was previously flowed through by the Röttenbach. This has now been created as a new Röttenbach over a length of 1.6 km from the intermediate dam inlet area to the downstream area of the Dechsendorfer Weiher. A near-natural watercourse is intended to improve the previously moderate water structure and create new habitats for the ecological diversity of nature. The lack of passability of the Röttenbach was restored. In the new Röttenbach, nutrients, sediments and also fish from the catchment area of the Dechsendorfer Weiher can be diverted around it into the downstream area of the pond. The pond is no longer in the main tributary but in the bypass and can therefore be managed in terms of the quality and quantity of the incoming water. With the targeted planting of aquatic plants, the pond was returned to a plant-dominated state. [ Source: https://erlangen.de/aktuelles/gewaesserschutz-dechsendorfer-weiher ]

From here on, the Rednitz, after it has now absorbed the Pegnitz, is called Regnitz. The point of land to Überplanken certainly has the advantage that you don't have to deal with mud or wild growth. The disadvantage is that the boards, despite the corrugations, quickly turn into a slide as soon as they get wet.

Currently free again. The beaver 🦫 had made himself comfortable under the forest path. Danger of collapse ⚠️

A large enclosure is available to the wild horses, in which they ensure that the open spaces are preserved. Due to the spaciousness of the enclosure, the horses can often be seen in a wide variety of places.

Beautiful lake for rest, hiking, BBQ and camping

The confluence of the Rednitz and Pegnitz is located in Wiesengrund in Fürth below today's Fürth main cemetery. It can be reached from the old town, or from the east of the city and from the north via the Friedhofsteg over the Pegnitz and from the west of the city, Kapellenruh, via the Käppnersteg over the Rednitz. The "confluence of the Rednitz and Pegnitz" is also simply called the "river triangle" or popularly simply the "Spitz". From here on, the Rednitz, after it has now absorbed the Pegnitz, is then called the Regnitz. The current location of the "Spitz" was created in the first half of the 20th century (presumably between 1910 and 1930) by straightening the Rednitz. Before that, the Rednitz turned sharply to the right after passing the Käppnersteg and joined the Pegnitz west of the Friedhofsteg (Wikipedia).

In the east of Erlangen lies the vast recreation area and nature reserve of the Tennenloher Forest. It is one of the largest sand ecosystems in southern Germany and inspires with its extensive, almost steppe-like open spaces, mostly densely covered with fragrant heather. Goats and a relevant population of the rare Przewalski's horses graze on these. In addition, you will find moor paths secured with wooden planks, which give the landscape an almost mystical character https://www.outdooractive.com/de/route/wandern/staedteregion-nuernberg/wildpferde-und-cheeky-goats-im-tennenloher-forst/125619433/
