Key facts of the tour
Not only Nuremberg itself is beautiful. It is also worth leaving the city and exploring the magical landscape in which it is embedded. Here, water has left its mark everywhere - whether in the form of rocks that emerged from the sand at the bottom of an inland sea hundreds of millions of years ago or as a spring that has attracted people for centuries. Travel through lakes, forests and gorges and learn about life in a medieval industrial settlement on the banks of the Pegnitz.
