Historic Railway Bridge in Tiefgraben und Kohlbuck

Highlight • Bridge

Far back on Günthersbühler Straße, at the stone bridge in an easterly direction, you can see a part of the former Ringbahn route that has grown over and is covered with leaves. In the other direction you can see a sun-drenched corridor where the first work on the “Bahn 2.0 lifeline” project is already underway.

"For plant species and animals that need light that can wander through here," says Petr Mlnarik, employee of the Nuremberg Landscape Conservation Association; these include grasshoppers, butterflies or lizards

Sand Dune in Tiefgraben und Kohlbuck

Highlight • Natural Monument

Ice-age sand dune, which looks very surprising in this forest. Definitely worth a little trip. Beach and desert feeling in the forest!

Weissensee (Erlenstegen Forest)

Highlight • Lake

The Weißensee is an idyllic body of water with a small island and is located in the Erlenstegener Forest and thus in the Sebalder Reichswald north-east of Nuremberg. It is part of the eleven kilometer long deep trench. The Weißensee once served as a motif for Albrecht Dürer for a watercolour.

Joke machine

Highlight • Structure

Great idea. There are currently Christmas jokes from the machine. The balls can be thrown into a sack at the bottom, so there is no rubbish.

Half-timbered houses

Highlight • Historical Site

A very idyllic spot away from the busy Erlenstegenstraße.

From here, the path continues towards Kohlbuck and the forest.

Erlenstegen station

Highlight • Rest Area

Erlenstegen Bahnhof is the perfect trailhead. You can reach it by train (RB 30) from Nürnberg Hbf/Lauf r.d.P. hourly or by Tram 8 at least every 20 minutes. You can even park your car here. From here you can hike Sebalder Reichswald, follow the historic Ringbahn to Nordostbahnhof (U2) or hike the Pegnitz upstream or downstream to another VGN station - just to name a few. Enjoy it day or night!
