Tips from the Community
Between Klein Venedig and the ERBA island, a continuous riverside path follows the left arm of the Regnitz. The section "Am Leinritt" recalls its original function in its name: here, horses and haulers once pulled ships upstream. Today, it is a quiet walking path with views of fishermen's houses, boat docks, and the water. Further downstream, the path widens into the ERBA Park, the former site of the Erlangen-Bamberger cotton mill, which was transformed into a spacious park landscape with meadows, water features, and riverside terraces for the 2012 State Garden Show. The old factory buildings now house parts of the university. 📍 Route: Fischerei – Am Leinritt – Markusbrücke – Landesgartenschauweg / ERBA-Park 🚶 Level, well-maintained path, also easily manageable with a stroller 🛶 Ideal perspective of Klein Venedig from the opposite bank 🌳 ERBA Park: lots of greenery, steps by the water, popular for breaks in the summer 🐟 With a bit of luck, you can see anglers, rowers, and canoeists on the river 🌉 The loop can be shortened as desired via the Markusbrücke
