      Morning in Regensburg

      April 19 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      This morning we spent the morning exploring Regensburg. We followed an online self-guided walking tour and explored as much of the city as we could before it started raining. After that we sought shelter!Read more

      Special German experiences

      October 11, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Davor and spent a few hours walking around the old town, enjoying the historic buildings and doing a little shopping. In Europe you have to learn to always look up! You never know what treasures you’ll find. Pics 1-7 are some of them! Mid afternoon we sat down at a little cafe for coffee and had a view of city hall (pic 8). I was excited to find my favorite bakery item at this cafe. It’s called “mandelhoernchen”. It is in the shape of a horn and has marzipan inside and almonds on the outside.
      We went back to Maja & Erhard’s and then the 4 of us went out for a fun dinner. We went to a neighboring village and ate at the restaurant for the locals, Landgastof Geser. We walked in and it was their monthly night for pop up music! Several people(including the owner), played accordion, there was a bass and a tuba. What you would call typical German beer hall music played the whole evening! What a fun atmosphere.
      I wish I had known how special the next thing that happened was and I would have taken a picture… they brought out a wooden keg(unusual these days), a man put on an apron and several stood by and he hammered the tap into the keg! Beer splattered! We were nearby but didn’t get wet! Then about 6 employees held out glasses as they tapped out all the foam from the keg, it took awhile! Finally the beer flowed and they emptied the keg into glasses. It was a special beer called bock which is a really dark beer. They only tap it once a year, usually in October. Because Maja and Erhard are regulars at this Gasthof, the owner knows them. We were lucky and he gave us each a glass of this special beer and then sat down and talked to us! The last pic is of my Wiener schnitzel with bratkartoffeln! What a fun evening!

      Highlight of the day: seeing a beer keg tapped      Read more

      Regensburg

      October 10, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      We spent the day wandering around downtown Regensburg. Regensburg is a well preserved medieval town. Erhard is very into history so he is quite the tour guide!
      Regensburg is well known for the Stone Bridge built in the 12th century (pic 1) Pic 2 is the archway at one end of the bridge leading into the old town. Pic 3 is an old wurst restaurant nearby, along the Danube River.
      We didn’t eat there, but instead crossed the stone bridge and had a wonderful lunch in a beer garden (pics 4-6). We’ve been fortunate and have been able to eat more than half of our meals outside, often in beer gardens! Pic 7 is the view we had from the beer garden looking across the Danube at the old town.
      Pic 8 is of Porta Praetoria, these are stone remnants of a former gateway built in 179 AD and once leading into a Roman military camp.
      Pics 9-13 are of St Peters Cathedral, also known as Regensburger Dom, rebuilt in 1273 in high gothic style. It was built the same time as Notre Dame in Paris. The organ was added later, in pic 13 you can see that it is suspended from the ceiling!
      We ended the day with a visit with our niece, Bettina and her kids, Marlene and Benjamin. We played mini golf and then had pizza together!

      The Old Stone Bridge

      September 24, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F

      For many years, there was no way to cross the Danube until the bridge was built. They competed with the architects of the cathedral to finish construction first. The cathedral had God on their side do the bridge builders turned to the Devil. However the devil wanted the first three souls that crossed the bridge. The bridge was completed first, but what three souls were to be sacrificed? They sent a dog, chasing two chickens. The statue is the architect watching the progression of the cathedral’s construction. The chickens are embedded into the side of the bridge.Read more

      On The Danube

      May 18, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Today dawned with sunshine and a promising full breakfast.
      We enjoyed a stroll into town and sought out more sights.

      Because of the city´s unique status as "the only authentically preserved large medieval city in Germany", the Old Town Regensburg (with Stadtamhof) was announced as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006.

      Just before the Stone Bridge is an interesting free ‘museum’ explaining a lot about the history of the town.
      Outside, we declined the option to join a huge queue for the Wurst Kuche: the oldest sausage stand/ restaurant in the whole WORLD, but once you’ve had one sausage..,,

      Instead, we decided that after seeing the Danube in Budapest, Ruse and Vienna, & passing over it on trains on countless occasions, it was high time we went on a boat for a cheeky trip.
      On the way, a nice ice cream from Aamu, & a short browse in the Bavarian Museum.

      On board our HMS Titanic (MS Strudelfahrt or similar 👀), we cruised around the island….well, up to the point where we met the lock, turned round, & went back 🤷‍♂️
      A pleasant way to spend an hour.

      From there we went hunting the Golden Church - Kollegiatstift unserer Lieben Frau zur alten Kapelle. A relatively plain exterior opens up to reveal incredibly ornate gold leaf on all interior fittings.
      It is said that Regensburg has a church for every day of the year. The Gold one and The Cathedral are the most impressive to see!

      Beer was sought in the beautiful courtyard of the classic Bischofshof am Dom. Originally the home of, yes, the Bishop, it now serves patrons food and ale. Friendly staff, nice beers, and great entertainment when a drunk older German fella next to us suddenly fell backwards on his chair….yet kept his ¾ full tankard of ale from spilling a drop: Bravo Sir🍻

      Checked out Europe’s only Master Hat Maker round the corner: sadly, the Johnny Depp hat they had previously on show was gone, but a fine display nonetheless…. Thankfully it was closed on this Ascension Day, otherwise I might have been tempted: a snip at €280 😱

      The Blue Moon Boys were setting up in a Theatre courtyard, along with the stylish “Holiday” motor 💪

      By now, after a exploring a few more alleyways, we felt we had done the place. We headed back via a grand brewing ale house, Brauhaus am Schloss. Fairly quiet when we arrived, and beautifully appointed inside, but by the time our food came out, it felt like two coaches of elderly Germans had arrived to sample the beers: nice!

      Finally, the walk home for an early night: busy day tomorrow 👍      Read more

      W obozie Marka Aureliusza

      July 25, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

      A w zasadzie spotkanie ze wspomnieniami po Marku Aureliuszu.
      Zupełnie poza planem, zainspirowani zdjęciami z Wikipedii, decydujemy się zawinąć do Regensburga, który, jak się okazuje, jest jednym z największych zachowanych średniowiecznych miast, z 1500 autentycznymi budynkami i statusem dziedzictwa UNESCO.
      Na początek (oczywiście!!) restauracja, tym razem włoska, z pizzą o średnicy ponad pół metra, która została zaakceptowana jako "porządne włoskie jedzenie w Niemczech" przez naszego lokalnego znawcę. Ale i tak podobno ranking słabszy, niż porządne niemieckie jedzenie....
      Upał niestety nadal obezwładnia, na szczęście zabytkowe uliczki są na tyle wąskie, że zapewniają cień. Regensburg nie rozczarowuje, kamieniczki nie tylko zabytkowe, ale starannie odnowione. Jest i panorama ze starego kamiennego mostu (AD circa 1200, nazwany zgodnie ze słynnym niemieckim polotem i rozmachem "Stary Kamienny Most"), i koncert na wiolonczelę i pianino, i Dunaj, odpowiednio majestatyczny.
      A na dodatek, poniekad zgodnie z tematem naszej wyprawy, ślady imperium - brama ustawiona za czasów Marka Aureliusza, prowadząca do obozu jednego z legionów Armii rzymskiej, datowana na AD 179. I zgodnie z przysłowiowym niemieckim pragmatyzmem, wkomponowana w bardziej współczesne mury.
      Zdecydowanie warto odwiedzić - najlepiej w ramach wyprawy z biegiem Dunaju po stolicach europejskich. Regensburg stolicą państwa co prawda nie jest, ale był pierwszą stolicą Bawarii, a do tego podpisano tu rozwiązanie Cesarstwa Rzymskiego Narodu Niemieckiego, więc status ma zdecydowanie wystarczająco historyczny.

      Tag 2. Regensburg

      August 8, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Tja, weit haben wir es heute nicht gebracht, aber wie sagt Steph so schön, der Weg ist das Ziel.
      Nach einem sehr leckeren, aber mit einer Wespenplage durchzogenen Frühstück fuhren wir in Richtung Regensburg, wo mir Steph noch Walhalla zeigen möchte. Dort angekommen bin ich total fasziniert von dem Gebäude und das Ludwig der I. denen zu Ehre es gebaut hat die sich um das deutsche Vaterland verdient gemacht haben.
      Danach sind wir durch Regensburg gelaufen, haben den Dom angesehen, die besten „Nürnberger“ Bratwürste mit Sauerkraut und einem Hammer-Senf der einen leichten Zimtgeschmack hatte gegessen, direkt nennen der steinernen Brücke, die rüber zu einer Donauhalbinsel führt, auf der auch unser Hotel für die Nacht liegt.
      Mal schauen wohin es uns morgen verschlägt. 🤩😉😍      Read more

      Iconic bridge, Cathedral & Sausages

      March 21 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      The stone bridge is from the 1200,s, the Cathedral and its gothic style from 1320, and the kitchen we get a peek of is as old as the bridge. We were informed by our guide that a traditional Bavarian breakfast would be sausage and beer. Just saying.Read more

      Ganzer Tag in Regensburg

      April 8, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Am frühen Morgen gab es ein waschechstes bayrisches Frühstück im weltbekannten Hofbräuhaus: Weisswürste mit Brezel 🥨 und süssem Senf. Nun, jeder nach seinem Geschmack. Für uns als Nicht-Bayer doch eher gewöhnungsbedürftig. Die Altstadt Regensburgs ist UNESCO-Welterbe. Dies weil die Altstadt als einige der wenigen im 2. Weltkrieg quasi verschont wurde. Die farbigen Gebäude und die engen Gässchen haben dabei einen besonderen Charme. Das Goliathhaus mit einer Zeichnung der Sage stammt aus 1230. Die Porta Praetoria ist sogar 1000 Jahre älter. Die steinerne Brücke aus ca. 1146 gilt als älteste noch erhaltene Brücke Deutschlands. Die Historische Wurstlküche bedient seit 500 Jahren am gleichen Ort hungrige Mäuler. Auch wir wollten uns hier verpflegen, doch die Schlange 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️ war den ganzen Tag lang. Auch ein Besuch im Dom durfte nicht fehlen, noch nie habe ich eine Kirche ⛪ besucht die im Innern derart dunkel ist. Nach der Sightseeing-Tour ging es am Abend wieder ins Wirtshaus, dieses Mal von Hacker-Pschorr 🍺.Read more
