Idyllic circular hike through the Lorenzer Reichswald near Nuremberg in Middle Franconia.
The Lorenzer Reichswald is a great oasis in the middle of the city, which is attractive in every season and is good for switching off. The starting point of this idyllic hike can be reached by bus (stop Sportanlage FCN). Those arriving by car can park in the large car park in front of the Nürnberg Hotel.
From there, the technically easy to walk paths follow the Fischbach into the forest to the "Russenwiese". Immediately after this beautiful open space, the idyllic wooden pond awaits. Often along gentle streams, the paths continue through the forest until finally the island restaurant Valzner Weiher, including the beautiful pond, invites you to linger and stop (note opening times).
