Guided Story

Ever thought about the stories a river could tell if it could talk? Look down at the Pegnitz flowing beneath you. For centuries, it's been the lifeblood of this city, carrying trade and tales. Right here on the Steuben Bridge, you've got a great view of the majestic city wall from the 15th century. Behind you, to the west, is the Natural History Museum. The bridge itself is a marvel of engineering, but more than that, it's a silent witness to all the changes Nuremberg has seen over time. The Schütt Island you see was once a strategic defense point. Today, it's a peaceful spot inviting you to pause and take it all in.
