    Hiking

    As the second largest folk festival in Bavaria and one of the 10 largest folk festivals in Germany, the Nuremberg folk festivals present themselves as a family festival. The always up-to-date mixture of classics and new attractions, the mix of games and shooting shops, ice cream and sweets, raffles as well as high-quality and diverse culinary specialties always offers visitors the highest quality.

    Hiking

    The area around the small and large dozen ponds has been a popular destination for excursions since the 19th century. The old zoo was located here, but it got in the way of plans for the Nazi Party Rally Grounds and was relocated to Schmausenbuck in 1939. After the war, the square was rebuilt by the city and since 1953 there have been annual folk festivals and other major events.

    Hiking

    The old zoo (1912) used to be on this large open space. The main entrance was in the same place as the entrance to the Volksfestplatz today.
    Because of the expansion of the Nazi party rally grounds, the old zoo then stood in the way and had to close in 1939.
    Today there are two folk festivals a year on this square: the spring festival (from Easter Saturday, duration 16 days) and the autumn festival (from the last Sunday in August, duration 17 days).
