Welcome to my Suggestion, Bahnstrecke Nürnberg - Schwandorf. The Nuremberg–Schwandorf railway is a 93.7 km long railway from Nuremberg, running along the Pegnitz river, to Hersbruck and continuing via Neukirchen bei Sulzbach-Rosenberg and Amberg to Schwandorf in the German state of Bavaria. It runs parallel to the Nuremberg–Cheb line (the Right Pegnitz line) between Nuremberg and Pommelsbrunn and this section is known as the Left Pegnitz line. It was opened in 1859 and is one of the oldest railways in Germany.
