An amazing impression is made by the crossbow fountain. It was created in 1904 by Leonard Herzog on donations from the society of shooters of St. Johanson. There is a plate on the fountain with the following content: “SNAPPER FOUNTAIN” by Leonard Herzog, created in 1904, marks the traditional crossbow shooting that took place here until the second half of the 18th century and the first was in honor of Emperor Frederick III in 1487. This is an amazing park in Nuremberg. It combines dull neglect with the desire to walk endlessly along its paths covered with fallen leaves.
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.
