Nuremburg, Germany October 20, 2024

Having traveled up and over the "continental divide" separating rivers flowing to the North Sea from rivers flowing east we arrived in Nuremberg. We passed through a total of 16 locks while navigating the Rhine/Mainz/Danube canal built between 1960 and 1992. We walked from the berthed ship to the closest lock, Eibach, and back before taking the bus into the city center. About 90% destroyed in WWII, the citizens decided to reconstruct the castle, towers, and walls. Very attractive! However, Nuremburg is inextricably connected to the Nazis, from the huge rallies conducted at the Zeppelin Field to Court 600 where many Nazi officials were held accountable for their crimes against humanity. We visited the Zeppelin Field as a result of a small car running into our bus right next to the field.Okumaya devam et
