It is located only a kilometer or so from where the Viking Gefjon docked in a very industrial part of Nuremburg. Surprisingly the trek to get there is through an autumn forest. Funny juxtaposition of industrial and rural. There were no markings along the trail and both the directions and the map were flawed.
Luckily I passed a couple of hikers but they were as unfamiliar with canal as I am with German. Imagine my surprise when our paths crossed again beside the canal under the only sign I ever saw.
The canal is beautiful this time of year with ancient deciduous trees lining each side. The old tow paths that the horses would have used to pull the barges have been converted over walking and biking paths. The colours are great and the area popular with folks. I did take a bunch of pictures but I don't know how to get them off the camera and onto here. (Until a month later)
