Faber Park

Faber Park is an architectural heritage monument and forest in Nuremberg with meadows, wooded sections, bridges, and a lake. The grounds spread across approximately 27 hectares and are accessible to visitors through numerous walking paths.

A pencil manufacturer acquired the land in 1842 and hired a landscape designer to create an English-style garden. The former private estate was eventually transformed into a public forest park managed by the city.

The park displays architecture from the 19th century through its Neo-Renaissance villa and Faberschloss, reflecting the tastes of wealthy industrialists from that era. Walking through the grounds, you see these buildings set within the green surroundings, showing how wealth and nature were meant to blend.

The park is located along Rednitzstraße and is easy to explore through numerous walking paths. Access is free and the paths suit different walking paces.

A stream called Röthenbacher Landgraben flows through the grounds and shapes the water experience of the park. This natural waterway became part of what transformed the space from a designed garden into an authentic forest park.
