Pegnitz is a town of some 13000 in Upper Franconia.
Pegnitz shares its name with the river which originates here and flows through Nuremberg before joining with the Rednitz in Fürth to form the Regnitz, which ultimately flows into the Main river.
As is common in Upper Franconia there are still a few small and mid-sized family run brewpubs with good beer and good food at affordable prices.
