Nuremberg: Within city limits (about 14 km), the river forms secondary arms. Numerous bridges and footbridges cross the river, such as the unchanged Renaissance bridge Fleischbrücke (1598) and the iron suspension bridge Kettensteg, dating from 1824. To the west of the Maxbrücke there's a weir. In the western part of the city, the river has been renaturalized one section at a time from 1998 to 2001, using the historical river bed as orientation.

Fürth: Numerous bridges and footbridges exist. As part of project Uferstadt (riverside city), the redesign of the former Grundig site, the river has been put into a nature-like bed in 2003. On a length of one kilometer, two new loops and shallowed banks have been created, and part of the former river bed have been kept in the form of backwaters. These tasks have been cofinanced by the European Union.

History

After the big flood in February 1909, straightening has shortened the river by four kilometers within the Nuremberg city limits.
Since 1996 planning and actions are progressing trying to lengthen the course of the river between Nuremberg and Fürth again and to shape it in a nature-oriented way.
