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.

May 27, 2022,Lauf a. d. Pegnitz - Nürnberg - Lauf a. d. Pegnitz

Start and finish is the car park at the outdoor pool in Lauf.
A fairly varied tour that is easy to drive.
There was a market in Nuremberg and we rewarded ourselves with delicious poppy seed cheesecake ☺️
Arriving back in Lauf, we were hit by a rain shower...which was used extensively to rest.

After a long day of meetings, booked an overnight stay in Nuremberg, which enables a bike expedition through the Pegnitz Valley. On the way back, I circled Lake Wöhrder.
I'm exhausted and not just mentally tired .... 😅 ... and that's how it should be ... 😉

So I take a fairly early train from Vlotho on the Weser and am in Nuremberg at 5 p.m. with a few changes. Still …

July 30, 2023,5 Flüsse Radweg - Etappe 5: Von Nürnberg bis Lauf / Pegnitz

Unfortunately, today is the last 🚴 tour from Nuremberg along the Pegnitz to Lauf.
Bike paths were very well developed.
Even if it was only almost 25 km, it was again a successful 🚴 tour today.
The 5 rivers bike tour was an all-round successful and beautiful 🚴‍♀️ tour
