Henkersteg

Imagine standing here on this historic wooden bridge, stepping back into a time when the executioner of Nuremberg lived and worked nearby. Look to your left, and you'll see the Henkerturm. This tower wasn't just his home, it was a symbol of law and order. Did you know that medieval executioners often lived isolated from society? Now turn around and soak in the views of the charming old town. Behind you, just down the river, is the Maxbrücke, another bridge steeped in history. The Henkersteg doesn't just connect riverbanks; it connects stories and legends that you can almost feel in the air. Take your time and enjoy the view over the shimmering waters of the Pegnitz.
