Historic Hammer Factory Estate

Highlight • Historical Site

Already in the 14th century (1372) was in Hammer a mill from which gradually developed an industrial estate. From the year 1492 it is known that there was a brass hammer next to the mill. The industrial settlement Hammer is located outside Nuremberg's city center, east in the district of Laufamholz. This had advantages and disadvantages in earlier centuries. Advantage: One did not succumb to the restrictions of the Nuremberg industrial code. Disadvantage: The settlement did not enjoy the protection of the city wall and was destroyed in the second margrave war (1552). The reconstruction of the hammer mill as a wire drawing mill was carried out by the Kanler family. In order to prevent renewed destruction, the area was surrounded by a wall (except the river side).

It's always very busy here in the summer – but there's enough space for everyone! A wonderful green space in the middle of the city. And you're in the city center in just a few minutes!

Wöhrder Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Wöhrder See (not to be confused with the Wörthersee) is a reservoir in the urban area of Nuremberg. It is approximately 2600 m long, an average of 100–200 m wide and covers an area of 52 hectares.[1] It is named after the Nuremberg district of Wöhrd.
In 1959, the Nuremberg city council decided to create Lake Wöhrder. It was completed in 1981. Previously, the Pegnitz flowed in two arms through a floodplain that was often flooded.[2]

In addition to the flood exposure of Nuremberg's old town, a popular recreational area was created, Lake Wöhrder, and the bomb crater landscape in the Pegnitz meadows left behind by the Second World War was removed.

Very nice way. Easy to drive except for the section with the fence. There are also hikers here, so be careful.

This is also a mega trail - just like almost the entire dune path!
Scenic highlight after scenic highlight, always a feast for the eyes! Sometimes challenging to ride. Always uphill and downhill, lots of roots, sandy passages, lots of small curves - simply top class!

There was already a castle in Lauf in the 12th century, but it was destroyed at the beginning of the 14th century. It was only around 50 years later, namely in 1353, that the later Emperor Karl acquired the area on the Pegnitz and a few years later had a new imperial residence built on the site of the old castle. Since the emperor as the Bohemian king also bore the name Wenceslas, the castle soon became known as the Wenceslas Castle. Wenceslas, the national saint of Bohemia, is also shown as a portrait above the main gate of the castle.

You can explore the castle and its premises either on your own or as part of a guided tour.

Opening times: Info point: Tuesday to Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Castle: Wednesday to Friday, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on weekends 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
