Bohemian Border – Golden Road Monument

Highlight • Monument

The Golden Road is the name given to a land connection between Nuremberg and Prague. The term "gulden straß" has been used since 1513 for various late medieval trade routes. The origin of the name is traced back to Charles IV, who was interested in a territorial connection between his Bohemian ancestral lands and the imperial cities of Nuremberg and Frankfurt.[1] Today, both the B 14 between Nuremberg and Hirschau, then from there - deviating from the B 14(!) - the section leading further north via Kohlberg - Weiden - Bärnau, as well as the Dálnice 5 from Prague to Pilsen and from there only towards the northwest follow roughly the course of the old routes. It remained - leaving the direct east-west direction ("Forbidden Road" via Waidhaus-Rozvadov/Roßhaupt) - in the territorial area of the Kingdom of Bohemia and in the so-called "New Bohemia".[2] The BAB 6 as part of the European route 50 is called Via Carolina and represents the direct east-west connection.

Pegnitz Valley East Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Nuremberg is full of green oases and since December 2018 parts of the Pegnitz have been designated as the Pegnitztal Ost nature reserve. Stroll along the Pegnitz, have a picnic in the shade of the huge trees - as a city dweller you don't have to go far to get into the countryside.
