Island castle
The imperial castle stands on an island in the Pegnitz. The river splits around it, and the poster shows this as a neat pocket of water and walls at the centre of town.

The map
About this Lauf an der Pegnitz map poster
Lauf an der Pegnitz lies in Middle Franconia, a short train ride east of Nuremberg. The Pegnitz river runs through the town from east to west. From above, the historic centre is an elongated oval on the river's south bank. Its main street and market square are compact, and the old town gates stand at either end.
The best-known feature sits in the river itself. The Kaiserburg, also called the Wenzelschloss, was built in the fourteenth century under Emperor Charles IV on an island in the Pegnitz. On a map, the island and the channels around it form a small, distinctive shape in the middle of town.
A Lauf an der Pegnitz map poster shows the old centre and how the town expanded later. Residential districts climb the slopes on both sides of the valley, the railway to Nuremberg follows the river, and the wooded hills of the Franconian countryside close in at the edges.

The Pegnitz valley
The river runs across the whole map. The historic core lies on one bank, and newer streets spread along the valley and up the slopes in both directions.
Old town oval
The medieval centre forms a compact oval between its two gate towers. A single main street and the market square are its spine, and the shape is easy to recognise from above.
