A very beautiful fountain.

The Huguenot Fountain is an important monument in Erlangen, commemorating the history of the Huguenots in the city. It is located in the extensive palace gardens, one of the earliest Baroque gardens in Franconia. In the 17th century, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685, numerous Protestant Huguenots fled France. Margrave Christian Ernst of Brandenburg-Bayreuth offered them refuge in Erlangen. The Huguenot Fountain was designed and erected by Elias Räntz in 1706. It was intended to honor the settlement of the French religious refugees and the Margrave's achievements.

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 ]

The entire park is oriented towards the fountain, as is typical of gardens from this era. There are many green spaces in front of the fountain that invite you to linger.

Behind the Margravial Palace, the palace gardens are open to the public for walking and relaxing.

Because "smaller" is sometimes more.....

Pure nature - only hikers and cyclists find their way here. The majority of those seeking relaxation have long since found their place.

An oasis of peace, especially in spring, you can watch squirrels and enjoy the flowers,
