Located in the southeast of Nuremberg, Silbersee is an artificial body of water that originated as a construction pit in 1937. It is now heavily contaminated, with warning signs prohibiting swimming due to the presence of hazardous substances. The distinct smell of hydrogen sulfide serves as a reminder of its past as a special waste landfill.
