Hersbruck

Hersbruck combines a compact historic centre with wooded uplands close by in a way that reflects its position on the edge of the Franconian Alb. The Pegnitz flows through the town, whose surroundings are associated with the limestone hills and walking country of the Hersbrucker Schweiz. In the Middle Ages, Hersbruck lay on the Golden Road linking Nuremberg and Prague, a route that helped establish it as a trading town. Surviving sections of the fortifications and the Wassertor recall that defensive past, while St Mary’s Parish Church remains a focal point of the old centre.
