“Can you feel it?” The stillness of the Haimendorfer Forst surrounds us. This is a place where nature reigns supreme. We are in a special area in the heart of Mittelfranken.
Haimendorfer Forst is a municipality-free area. It lies within the district of Nürnberger Land. It is a place of quiet forests and hidden streams. The forest covers 7.53 square kilometers. It has no permanent residents. Imagine a space dedicated solely to nature.
The Haimendorfer Forst is divided into two main sections. The larger section is south of Schwaig. The smaller area lies west of Diepersdorf. The Lorenzer Reichswald encompasses this smaller section. The A9 highway cuts between these two areas.
Two streams meander through the western part. These are the Schneidersbach and Röthenbach. In the eastern section, two tributaries feed the Röthenbach. These are the Finstergraben and Geißgraben. The Geißgraben starts as the Roggenbach. Water is essential to this forest.
Each plot of land averages 125,426.32 square meters. The Haimendorfer Forst has 60 such plots. This division highlights how carefully the area is managed.
Haimendorfer Forst is easily accessible from Nuremberg Airport. It is only 11 kilometers away. Dawn breaks here at 07:16. Sunset arrives at 17:40 offering 10 hours and 24 minutes of daylight.
Take a deep breath. The air is clean. The sounds are natural. This is a haven. The Haimendorfer Forst offers a retreat from the modern world. It allows us to connect with nature. It invites us to reflect on the beauty around us. Let us respect and preserve this green space.
