We live in a nice and very calm residential-only area with young families and senior citizens in the neighbourhood. The street is a kind of small circular-road, so kids can play outside the gateway with very few cars passing by (only residents). There is a big supermarket nearby, where you can buy everything for daily live. You can explore fields and forests near to our house. Two bus lines take you to Nuremberg downtown, if you don't want to go by car.

For trips and excursion into nature, we are very well situated: The near sourroundings offer a couple of nice places and walks.
After 30 min by car, you are either in the gorgeous region Fränkische Schweiz (http://www.fraenkische-schweiz.com/bilderbogen/en.html ; motorway A9 to the north) or in the beautiful Altmühltal Nature Park (http://international.naturpark-altmuehltal.de/en/ ; motorway A9 to the south).
The city of Nuremberg disposes of a big variety of attractions in the field of monuments, culture, parcs, cafes & restaurants.
