Little Birkensee

Highlight • Lake

Ideal for a short break. In summer you can buy something to eat and drink at the Großer Birkensee. There's a little can there that they sell things from.

Wöhrder Lake

Highlight • Lake

It was really a nice local recreation area which is very well attended on weekends and when the weather is nice. The further you get out, the quieter it becomes.

Wöhrder Meadow

Highlight • Natural

Wöhrder Wiese, Nuremberg
The Wöhrder Wiese is an inner-city green space along the Pegnitz River and Lake Wöhrder in the center of Nuremberg, south of the Wöhrd district. It is part of the Franconian Sand Axis. Below the weir of the Lower Wöhrder Lake, the Wöhrder Wiese is bordered by the Pegnitz River and its southern branch.
The area is intensively used by recreationists and athletes, as well as for leisure and cultural events. From May to September, the Wöhrder Wiese is home to the Sensory Experience Center, as well as beer gardens in the summer. Cyclists and pedestrians cross the Wöhrder Wiese on their way from eastern Nuremberg to the city center. The six-hour run takes place annually in March on a circular route.

The complex belongs to the city of Nuremberg and houses clubs and a cultural shop in the outbuildings. There are rental apartments in the castle building itself. The small but nice Christmas market on the first weekend of Advent in the castle courtyard is highly recommended!
