There Ludwig always goes. Recommendation to stop at the Biergarten Schleuse 35. Small cozy Biergarten.

Originally created for flood protection, Wöhrder See is now a popular local recreation area. The lake has been redesigned: While the lower area with a new bathing bay and a sandy beach is attractive for recreation seekers, the upper area is reserved for species protection.

On the northern edge of the Hammer factory estate, the Pegnitz river flows by. Upstream from there is the first weir within the city limits, where a small hydroelectric power plant was built. Water power had already generated energy for the factory estate at that location in the past. The ambitious plan in 2015 was to significantly increase the share of electricity generated by water in Bavaria to almost 25 percent by 2025 (in 2020 it was approx. 15 percent). In the meantime, the overly radical increase in the generation of electricity from hydropower is no longer considered ecologically sensible, as the rivers are too severely disturbed in their natural course. A small one like the existing one in Laufamholz hardly makes a difference in Bavaria's overall balance and does not further disturb the natural course of the Pegnitz.
