You only see what you know (Goethe)
I had known Nuremberg is famous for its Lebkuchen but I was surprised how many sorts of bread this bread store (Feinkost Nikolaus Schwarz) is offering. Amazing how different the outer crusts and the crumbles of each loaf look like. And yes, I always love a good piece of bread. What about you?
You find this sundial on the facade of the Fembohaus in Nuremberg. The Fembohaus is the home of the Nuremberg City Museum. Inside, you see a city model of Nuremberg before World War II.
A city wall still surrounds Nuremberg (Nürnberg) to a large extent. I had an excellent view of the guard’s walkway from my hotel window.
The historical tavern ‘Wurstkuchl’ in Regensburg has offered delicious sausages and sauerkraut for 500+ years. In earlier times, the workers used to have their lunch there. Today, a lot of tourists and even ducks stop by.
After a tour through the lanes of Regensburg, I paid a visit to a remarkable ship. The “Kristallkönigin” was a river cruise ship decorated with thousands of Swarovski elements.
I just love the style of this café in Regensburg named Café Fürstenhof. What about you? Would you love to have a cup of coffee at this balcony watching the people in the street?
On my way from the railway station to the centre of Regensburg, I discovered the city’s emblem at an oriel window: Two white keys in a red field. The keys are the attribute of Saint Peter, the patron of Regensburg Cathedral.
Two wall ruins near the railway station of Regensburg. The wall in the foreground was built in medieval times, the wall in the background is even from ancient Roman period.
This photo shows a view into the driver’s cabin of a German ICE T. In this kind of train, you had the chance to sit behind the driver – only separated by a glass door – and to watch the landscape in front of the train for many years.
Wilhelm Rottermondt created this statue of the “Regina Pacis”. In English, this title translates to Our Lady Queen of Peace. You find this sculpture in a niche on the facade of the University of Bonn, also known as Rhenish Friedrich Wilhelm University of Bonn.
A detail I really love: On my way from Hamburg to Munich a lady boarded the ICE and sold Brezel until she left the train at the next station. I was told in summer they are selling ice cream instead. Nice idea, isn’t it? Is there a similar service in your region too?
My first stop on my 8th day of my InterRail journey: Lübeck. I just love these halls of old railway stations. You?
