Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge Röthenbach an der Pegnitz

Highlight • Bridge

Now the town of Röthenbach a.d.P. has finally replaced the old, slippery wooden bridge with a modern one. The surface is perfect 👍.
Thanks to the town. This makes cycling there fun again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hersbrucker Tor in Lauf an der Pegnitz

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hersbrucker Tor is one of the two remaining city gates of Lauf an der Pegnitz and marks the eastern end of the historic market square. The gate was originally built in the 15th century as part of the town fortifications, shortly after Lauf was elevated to a city in 1355 by Emperor Charles IV. In its current form, the structure essentially dates from 1476, as inscriptions also indicate.

Cycle path along the Pegnitz

Highlight • Cycleway

The location on the Bundesstraße is more prominent. The traffic volume is considerable and the noise level is high. The Pegnitz is not visible in this section. Positively, the sufficient width of the bike path, even with oncoming traffic, as well as the excellent surface should be highlighted.
