Regensburg

Thursday, 12 December 2024

Regensburg is a mix of medieval, gothic, and baroque architecture that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We had a morning walking tour with time to savor the Christkindlmarkt before returning to the ship.

The Old Stone Bridge is one of the oldest medieval bridges still in use.

St. Peter's Cathedral. The foreground tower is much older than the Gothic parts, but the cathedral ran out of money and decided to keep the original tower.

At Kelheim we left the Danube to follow the Danau-Main Kanal (Danube-Main Canal) that links the Danube to the Rhine. This is the Liberation Monument in Kelheim.
