Relaxing in the nature
The municipality Dechsendorf belongs since 1972 to Erlangen and is a local recreation area
surrounded by a beautiful landscape of meadows, forests and lakes. During the summer time,
the great lake of Dechsendorf invites to swimming, boating and relaxing on the lawns or to
open air concerts like "Classic at the Lake". In the winter time, the lake is an ideal place
for ice skating or curling.


Who wants to climb higher can reach in short time the natural wonders of the
Franconian Switzerland. With a summer-toboggan-run, lots of
hiking paths and a marvellous cave this area provides a huge range of leisure attractions for
the whole family.
Party the Franconian way
Love of life and public festivals are very important in Franconia.
Every summer the Erlanger Bergkirchweih invites to hilariously parties.
In several beer gardens with lots of roller coasters and culinary attractions one of the most
beautiful public festivals of Germany takes place.
