From here you have a picturesque view of the Pegnitz and the beautiful houses that line the shore. One of the buildings is the Industrial Museum, where you can see exhibits related to craft and industry from 1890 to 1970.

Upper Egelsee

Highlight • Lake

If you hear a loud croaking of the frogs here, you have found the lake. It is idyllically located a little below the hiking trail, you can take a short break here on a bench
