Key facts of the tour
One nature trail, two metropolises: If you set off on foot from Fürth to Nuremberg, you will be amazed at how many green oases run through the two neighbouring Franconian cities. You can walk comfortably from one main railway station to the other - past idyllic parks, blooming gardens and unspoilt meadow landscapes, without setting foot in noisy urban areas. The main route follows the course of the Pegnitz, the gently rippling lifeline that connects Fürth and Nuremberg. The route starts at Fürth's main railway station, continues through the wonderfully peaceful city park and the somewhat hidden "little Mainau" - always along the banks of the Pegnitz to nearby Nuremberg. Nuremberg's historic city centre is home to the "Liebesinsel" and the Lorenzkirche church, as well as all kinds of other sights, until the tour ends at Nuremberg Central Station.
