Hersbruck Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built before 1000 as a castle to protect the Pegnitz Bridge. In 1360, Emperor Charles IV bought the land and had a house built for the New Bohemian administrator. In 1557 the old walls were laid in and a new official castle was built for the Nuremberg keeper. In 1616 it was raised and expanded. Since then it has remained almost unchanged in its structural substance. Magnificent stucco ceilings have been preserved inside. Instead of a tenth barn, a prison (Fronfeste) was built on the east side of the castle courtyard in 1840. It was the seat of the caretaker, district office and district office - today it is the district court.

Happurg Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Happurger Stausee is a relatively small lake that you can easily cycle around on a four-kilometer-long route. The area around the lake is beautiful and you always have a spectacular view of the water while cycling.

In summer you can look for a nice spot to rest along the way and refresh yourself in the cool water of the lake; swimming is allowed at the reservoir. Sailing, surfing and stand-up paddling are also popular water sports.

Around the lake you will find beautiful restaurants and cafés that invite you to stop off. From the large terraces of the restaurants you have a breathtaking view of the lake.
