Day Six: Ruins, Relics, and a Rugby team.

After a well-earned sleep-in, we hit the road around 9 a.m. and made it to the Rumburg Castle ruins just before lunchtime. The weather was spot on for a little hike—sunny skies, fresh air, and plenty to explore among the crumbling stone walls and quiet hilltop views.

Next up was Nuremberg, where we made a thoughtful visit to the Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds. It was busy—there was a speedway being set up nearby—but still a powerful stop. we strolled through the city and grabbed lunch at a doner and kebab shop. Simple, tasty, and exactly what we needed. I found a pinball machine and couldn’t resist playing for 10 minutes, Sebastian picked up a few souvenirs. We explored the grounds of the impressive Nuremberg Castle overlooking the city center.

From there, we continued to Bamberg to give Sebastian a look at one of our favorite hidden gems—Altenburg Castle, perched above the city with stunning views and that quiet, storybook charm.

Checking into our hotel turned into a bit of a surprise: a rambunctious German rugby team was also checking in. We braced ourselves, but the hotel receptionist reprimanded them early on, and the evening ended up being relaxed and peaceful.

Dinner was an unexpected hit—a cozy Italian pizza place tucked in a Biergarten inside a leafy park. It totally hit the spot for our pizza craving. A friendly local couple practiced their English with us, helped us get proper seat cushions, and sharing a few travel stories.

We ended the night back at the hotel, air conditioning on full blast, and all of us ready for some solid rest.Læs mere
