November 7, 2025, Regnitz Riverside Path

This wonderfully long, partly unpaved path along the left arm of the Regnitz leads down to the Buger Spitze and is a beautiful promenade and jogging route through the magnificent mixed forest.

Statue of St. Christopher created in 1926 by the Bamberg sculptor Hans Leitherer. The base bears the following inscription: Saint Christopher carried the little crier From one shore to the other O carry every mother's child lightly and gently through life's floods Help the Burg ferryman carry the crowds across and across the river! Also help the German fatherland out of its deep distress and shame.

Bridge in the Mühlenviertel. From the bridge, you have a wonderful view of the Regnitz River and the various fortifications.
