Top 20 Natural Monuments around Steinach

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

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.

The water was drained because the algae should no longer multiply.

Beautiful local recreational destination in the southern part of Nuremberg. Very spacious, close to nature, ideal with children... and also steeped in history!

The beautiful fountain stands on the edge of Nuremberg's main market square. It is shaped like a Gothic church spire and is one of Nuremberg's main attractions and is also part of the Historical Mile. Legend has it that whoever turns the golden ring on the fountain's grille will have three wishes granted. There is another black ring on the opposite side of the fountain. Some people claim that this is the real lucky ring and that the "golden" one is the tourist ring... Just try it out! 😉

The view of the National Socialists' Congress Hall - an inglorious period of German history. One cannot remember enough about this time with its many atrocities, oppression and inhumanity.

The myth of the brass ring, which is seamlessly forged into the iron grate, also has a legend. It is said to have got in like this: Master Kuhn, who built the grate around the well, had a daughter called Margret, who was courted by his apprentice. But because he did not want to give his child to a poor boy, he forbade this courtship and threw him out. It is said to have said something like: "It will come to nothing! It will come to nothing, just as you can make the rings on the well grate turn!" The master then went away and the apprentice wanted to prove that he could do something and secretly made the ring. Then he cut it open, inserted it into the grate, soldered, hammered and filed until you could no longer see the seam. Then he left town and never came back. When the master returned home, he realized that he had been too strict. He regretted being thrown out and would have liked to have the clever apprentice back and given him his daughter too, but it was too late and Margret cried her eyes out. One of the rings is considered a lucky charm; according to legend, whoever turns it will be blessed with children. The brass ring is usually thought to be the lucky charm, but many Nuremberg residents believe that the iron ring is the "real ring" and therefore the lucky charm. According to another legend, the sculpture of the fountain was actually commissioned as the top of the tower of the Frauenkirche (also on the main market), but this was rejected due to the lack of a way to lift it.
