A small Tradi at the Waldkapelle Rangau near Retzelfembach. The site offers a beautiful view over the villages of the municipality Veitsbronn.

Above Retzelfembach, on a green hill between the Zenn and Fembachtal valleys, is the Waldkapelle Rangau.

Cycle path from Kagenhof to Retzelfembach

Highlight • Cycleway

Lets drive nice

The first written mention of Kagenhof is not clear: it took place either in 1396 as "Kabenhof", but possibly also in 1409 as "Kabenhofe". The word of the place name is the Middle High German word "Gehag" (= fencing). So it was called an enclosed yard. [2]

At the end of the 18th century Kagenhof had 2 semi-courts. The high court exercised the brandenburg ansbachische Stadtvogteiamt Langenzenn. The village and municipality rule was held by the Landpflegamt Nürnberg. The one estate had the Mendelsche Zwölfbrüderhausstiftung of the imperial city of Nuremberg as landlord, the other estate the Nuremberg proprietor of Pömer.

Michelbach Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A total of 17 bridges were built between 1966 and 1975 for the Main-Danube Canal in the city of Fürth. Of these, a total of five bridges are so-called trough or canal bridges, which were built between 1966 and 1971 for over 20 million DM. By far the most expensive trough bridge was the canal bridge over the Rednitztal for DM 12.237 million, while the cheapest canal bridge in the city area was the canal bridge over Oberfürberger Straße (Michbach canal bridge), the construction costs of which amounted to only DM 1.15 million in 1969 .

Kriegenbrunn Lock

Highlight • Structure

The lock has its own command post, which has also served as the WSV's headquarters since 2007. The Nuremberg, Eibach and Erlangen locks are also remotely controlled from there.[8] From 2024, twelve locks will be controlled from the Nuremberg control center, later all 16 canal locks.[9]

Except in the event of operational disruptions such as accidents, maintenance work or ice conditions, the lock is operational around the clock all year round and is illuminated at night. Upstream and downstream there are locks for commercial shipping, waiting areas with intercoms for leisure shipping and slipways for small craft. Small vehicles are only handled during the day and usually together with large shipping. Human-powered watercraft are not locked; for these, a transport trolley with a deposit is available at the slip points for manual transfer.
