Location and Leisure: Hersbruck is not far from Nuernberg and has two train stops (Hersbruck (l Pegnitz) und Hersbruck (r Pegnitz)). You can head to Nuernberg from both stops. Apart from this you have a range of free time activity opportunities on the premise of the Edelweißhütte: Soccer, table tennis, table soccer and an adventure play park are right there. On top of this, there is a lake close by (Happurger Stausee) and many hiking paths which invite you to go for lovely hikes in the area. There will also be a summer festival in Hersbruck on the second and third weekend in July. This is a great opportunity to meet people and get to know each other! A little bit about the history of Hersbruck: The second biggest camp of concentration camp Flossenbürg was up in Hersbruck from July 1944 to April 1945. 9000 prisoners from all over Europewere held captive here. They had to build a underground cleats for an armament factory in the neighboring village of Happurg. The documentation place Hersbruck/Happurg commemorates the camp with two installations: One is put up at the former camp of the concentration camp prisoners in Hersbruck, the other at their former place of labor in Happurg. Every first Sunday of the months at 2pm, the Concentration Camp Memorial Flossenbürg offers guided tours, free of charge. We will also offer a trip there, if you are up for a historical trip with your group.
