Discover Boxdorf

Boxdorf is part of Knoblauchsland and combines village history, vegetable farming, and signposted cycling routes. Anyone planning a trip with a variety of ideas for day trips will find opportunities here for bike tours, local discoveries, and a stay centered around the village pond. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether your trip should be shaped more by cycling, regional culture, or the rural character of Knoblauchsland.

Knoblauchsland, vegetable farming, and the village pond

Knoblauchsland is closely associated with vegetable growing. Farmers are represented both at weekly markets and at the wholesale market, supplying all of Nuremberg with fresh vegetables. Gemüsebau Konrad Drechsler in Boxdorf is also associated with vegetable growing and the weekly market. This agricultural aspect is part of the local character and makes Boxdorf interesting for travelers who want to learn about regional traditions and how a city is supplied from its surrounding area in addition to taking excursions.

A specific meeting place in the village is the village pond. The village youth meet there; when winters are cold enough, the pond also serves as an ice-skating rink. Its use as an ice-skating rink therefore explicitly depends on winter temperatures. For your travel planning, the village pond is primarily a local landmark with a distinctive seasonal history.

Cycling routes through and around Boxdorf

Several signposted routes offer different options for an active day. Cycling Route 1 covers 14 kilometers from Nuremberg Central Station to Tennenlohe or Erlangen. It passes through Almoshof, Buch, and Boxdorf; via Tennenlohe, you can reach the center of Erlangen.

Cycling Route 13 is shorter, at 9.8 kilometers. It runs between Schniegling and Reutles via Höfles, Sack, Boxdorf, and Großgründlach. It also has a branch toward B 4 and onward to Kraftshof. Anyone choosing accommodation in Boxdorf can take these two routes into account when planning and select the desired route based on its length and particular course.

On the “Knoblauchsland 8 Loop” cycling route, Boxdorf’s modern church can be seen on the other side of B 4. The route thus combines the experience of a bike tour with a view of the village’s modern church.

History, church, and parish festival

Boxdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1293. A more recent historical reference is the Church of the Good Shepherd, which was consecrated on July 21, 1968. The parish festival in Boxdorf is held and organized by the Nord Citizens’ Office. Together, these details give the village several layers: a long documented history, a specific consecration date, and a local tradition.
