Volkspark Dutzendteich, Public park in Nuremberg, Germany
Volkspark Dutzendteich is a public park in Nuremberg featuring two connected lakes and spacious green areas crossed by walking and cycling paths. The grounds include swimming areas, sports facilities, and recreational spaces surrounding the waters with infrastructure for various activities.
The water was created around 1430 through dam construction as part of the city's development. In the 1930s the Nazi regime significantly reduced the park's size to make space for large-scale events.
The park hosts the annual Rock im Park music festival, which draws thousands of visitors for performances by international musicians and bands. The grounds today serve mainly as a place for music, sports, and leisure where people gather to relax and celebrate.
The site works well for swimming, sailing, rowing, cycling, and other water activities along the shorelines. Visitors should know the terrain is flat and easy to walk, with multiple access points and rest areas spread along the routes.
Some building structures from the Third Reich era were preserved and now function as tennis courts and sports facilities, including the former Zeppelin Tribune. This makes the place one where history and modern sports coexist side by side.
