Knoblauchsland, occasionally also called Nuremberg Knoblauchsland[1], is the name given to one of the largest contiguous vegetable-growing areas of its kind in Germany, whose development dates back to the 8th century. This historically significant cultural landscape lies in the center of the Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen triangle in Franconia. The vegetable-growing area was characterized by intensive interactions with the adjacent urban areas. On the one hand, it supplied the city's population with vegetables, and on the other, the city of Nuremberg protected the nearby cultivated areas and farmers in times of war and hardship.

The small Wied Pond in Tennlohe is a small, idyllic spot and part of the local sculpture park. Dieter Erhard's "Ferryman" is also very beautiful. The boat stands at the edge of the pond and, due to the low water level, appears to float above the surface.
