Bamberg - continued...

Sunday Paul and I headed to Bamberg. "Bamberg is situated on seven hills and features a splendidly preserved old town. It is encircled by the branches of the river Regnitz. The town is famous not only for its exceptional artistic heritage, but also for its excellent beer, produced by one of the nine breweries that operate here. Its long history goes back to AD 902, when the Babenberg family established their residence here."

We loved this town! It is very, very beautiful and a wonderful place to visit. The town was not hit by the bombs in World War 2, therefore all of the buildings are original and date back as far as AD 1003! As we were walking through the town, the church bells were ringing and then later, people were playing instruments and singing along the street. I am going to take April there next week and cannot wait to revisit the town!





The inside of a courtyard that dates back to 1003!!!





Massive town hall...we couldn't believe how big the building was!







A church on top of the hill...very steep city!
