The executioner's bridge over the Pegnitz River was built in 1457 and served for secret passage into the house of the executor. The executioner's profession was not popular and the inhabitants of Nuremberg avoided meeting with the executioners. Later, a wooden bridge began to be used for passage from the city to the island of the flea market. It became part of the complex, which includes a storage facility and a water tower.
Nuremberg for those who love walking around. I love to walk around the city and discover its stories, people, tastes, sounds, views. This walk takes a whole day and includes the most beautiful photo locations of the city. We will walk along the embankments of the Pegnitz River from the eastern to the western gates; we will be able to take beautiful photos near the Holy Spirit Hospital, the museum bridge, and the old meat market, the executioner's house, the chain bridge, and Maxbruck. We will leave the old city for a few minutes to enjoy the autumn park, enchanted by a crossbow shooter. We will visit the house of Albrecht Durer and find out the history of the most intriguing fake portrait in the history of humankind. We will have lunch at the oldest restaurant in the city and end our journey in the area of the red light district.
