Water tower

Brunner water tower, 2008

North of Brunn, somewhat hidden in the forest, there is a small water tower ( 49 ° 26 ′ 41.78 ″  N , 11 ° 14 ′ 52.22 ″  E ). The slender and around 7 meter high tower is part of a 200-  capacity elevated tank and has been part of the Brunner water supply since 1961. The water comes from the Krämersweiher waterworks , which went into operation in 1893 and is fed by four wells up to 148 meters deep.

Frog stone

To the west of Brunn am Brunner Weg is the Froschstein ( 49 ° 26 ′ 16.93 ″  N , 11 ° 12 ′ 45.05 ″  E ). The boulder, made of castle sandstone , is about 5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2 meters high. It owes its name to its strange shape, which looks like a frog when viewed from the north . There are carvings of an elephant on the rock .

Brunn Castle

To the west of Brunn ( 49 ° 26 ′ 10.03 ″  N , 11 ° 14 ′ 48.8 ″  E ) are the remains of the now defunct Brunn Castle . It is also called the Brunn Hunting Lodge . The complex was first mentioned in 1347 and served the emperors and kings as a hunting lodge during their stays in Nuremberg. The hunting lodge was destroyed in 1449 during the First Margrave War. Today only a few remains of the wall and trenches are visible.
