    Hiking

    The information stele on Glogauer Straße is reminiscent of the so-called "foreigners' settlement" that stood here after the Second World War. Nearby there was a wooden Evangelical and a Russian Orthodox church of Pope Michnenko, who looked after prisoners of war from the USSR and displayed persons. In addition, the "Valkalager" is mentioned, the first assembly camp for homeless foreigners: inside Germany. It was later moved to Zirndorf and is considered the original cell of today's BAMF (Federal Office for Migration and Refugees).

    The recent history of Langwasser with the "Valka camp". Very exciting and well-made information boards! Nearby you will also find at least two of the great murals that can be found here in Langwasser.
    Ducks flying to the east of here and a mural by Yannik Czolk and Sven Küstner to the west on the road.
