The Happurger See (366 m above sea level) is a reservoir embedded in the Hersbrucker Alb, surrounded by the Houbirg (618 m), the Deckersberg (586 m) and Reicheneck. Created in 1955 to generate electricity, the reservoir today delights bathers, sailors, cyclists and hikers, especially in summer. Great path around the lake. Whether Nordic walking, cycling or hiking, the circular route is ideal for this. Route length about 4 km. We recommend the lakeside terraces, a café and restaurant.

The lake is fed by the Happurger Bach and its left tributary Kainsbach. The Happurg[2] pumped storage power plant of the Fränkisches Überlandwerk, which went into operation in 1958 (which was later taken over by E.ON and today belongs to Uniper), used the lake as a sub-basin. The associated upper basin is on the Deckersberg. The average size of the lake is around 55 hectares. The lake gets its name from the neighboring town of Happurg. It was built by the Nuremberg architect and culture prize winner of the city of Nuremberg Franz Reichel.
