Hundreds of thousands of people from near and far flock to the "gateway to the franconian forest" every year to celebrate the "freischieben" in kronach. Rides and booths, the two festival halls and, last but not least, the beer garden at the schutzenhaus attracted visitors with attractions, music, food and drink.
But this year, too, numerous residents of the care facility "leben am rosenberg" wanted to leave the celebrations not only to the young people at the helios-frankenwald hospital in kronach. On the first friday of the festival, one day after the beer tapping, they made their way to the schutzenplatz, accompanied by their caregivers, enjoyed one or the other freshly tapped stein in splendid summer weather, and enjoyed the plump folk festival atmosphere. The watchful eye of the security service made sure that everything was always done properly, and ensured that the companions of the merry group also had their fun.
Fortified with bratwurst, fish sandwiches and roasted almonds, the group headed home after an eventful afternoon.
The "leben am rosenberg" care facility has been present at the frankenwaldklinik since 2004, with which it cooperates in several areas, and currently accommodates a total of 33 residents in short- and long-term care. In addition to nursing care, the facility also offers its residents regular activities such as a visit to the kronach free slide.
