The Pegnitz has its source in the town of the same name at an altitude of 425 m and meets the Rednitz at 283 m in Fürth. From that point on the river is called Regnitz. But often esp. by local people the 15 km long Fichtenohe is regarded as upper course of the Pegnitz. The Fichtenohe source is in Lindenhardt Forest north of Pegnitz town.
After the big flood in February 1909, straightening has shortened the river by four kilometers within the Nuremberg city limits.
