Regensburg, off the beaten rails inward Germany, traveling solo



A wonderful metropolis to walk the lanes too avenues, fifty-fifty if the heaven is overcast.   Arriving past times prepare inward the forenoon gave me almost an entire 24-hour interval to go oriented to the city.   Day 2 I would see many of the locations my guide, Michaela Ederer from Regensburg Marketing, suggested to me.  

Leaving Hotel Central Regensburg my tour took us downwards cobbled streets of shops, restaurants too apartments.    You imedaitely notice how create clean too good kept High German towns are.  Regensburg is a Unesco World Heritage City amongst most of the  the erstwhile town within this designation   I constitute at that topographic point is far to a greater extent than to reckon than you lot tin practice inward 2 days, computer program to remain longer.
.

This charming bakery is the solely i to provide rolls for the famous sausage eatery nosotros visited.

 (see below).   Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 steady stream of local shoppers proved it was real popular.

The spire of St Peters tin live on seen over the roof tops

The Cathedral of St Peter, some other amazing construction that e'er makes me recess to mean value 'how was this done?"

                                                     The organ pipes are massive.

                       On a sunny 24-hour interval I am certain the colored drinking glass windows are stunning.

Let them consume Cake:    I asked inward each town I visited for the oldest or best known bakery or a cake that was considered 'the signature cake' for that town.   Prinzess Cafe, "Regensburg's starting fourth dimension address for chocolates, java too fine pastries" every bit per their spider web site, is considered the best.

The window display gave me a hint of the treasures inside.

There was a massive display within on chocolates too candies.  These are chocolates you lot select individually too bear the inward a box.    The cakes were simply every bit impressive.    

The mad hatter:   Andreas Nuslan leads the 100+ twelvemonth erstwhile menage unit of measurement companionship Der Hatmacher.  As nosotros passed the colorful windows I had to halt when I saw the hat created for Johnny Depp inward Alice inward Wonderland!     
I made a instant see the side past times side 24-hour interval too toured the extensive displays on 2 floor.    The procedure of making hats past times paw is real intensive, paw labor.   The companionship spider web site states they are withal using the erstwhile traditional 'englische Zuriche'.  "This rare technique is solely possible amongst similar a shot manual labour.  and solely amongst this complicated process, which includes betwixt sixty too eighty working steps, tin the felt go potent too stable".     It would live on amazing to spotter a chapeau beingness created.  You tin reckon this on the spider web site video.

A large choice of pins that tin live on added to your hat.  There were pins for almost whatever hobby or affiliation

My see was just after Easter too then at that topographic point was a colorful array of headwear

One of the staff who kindly told me virtually some of the styles.    

Local Artisans:  Often a metropolis or town volition specialize inward a arts and crafts or traditional arts.   Visiting artists shops oft give a perspective that you lot won't respect inward a large store.   Regensburg has Kunsthandwerk Orignial.  This pocket-size store showcases paw crafts too fine art go past times locals.   

 I was tempted past times many of the fine pieces but limited traveling pocket infinite too some other 8 weeks on the route encouraged me to select a paw made wooden pen.

 SAUSAGE amongst sweetness mustard
Not much to facial expression at from the exterior this pocket-size waterfront stand, the historic Wurst-kuchel, was packed before inward the day.   When I returned to effort i of the sausages belatedly inward the afternoon, I was the solely mortal there.



Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 shortened summary from Wikipedia gives some of the history of this good known halt for sausage:  "The Historic Sausage Kitchen of Regensburg is perhaps the oldest continuously opened upwardly populace cookshop inward the world."  "First every bit a construction component for the edifice of the rock pair you lot tin see from the patio out front, it became a favorite over the centuries".   .

In improver to the walk upwardly stand upwardly amongst a few within tables, at that topographic point is a to a greater extent than formal eatery across the patio.   Note:  peradventure because it was the halt of some other long day, don't await a chatty staff or whatever explanation on where your are allowed to sit.  My sausage was handed to me on a plate but I was told I could NOT receive got the plate to a tabular array or to the exterior stand upwardly up site.    I volition demand to enquiry this before I render to effort more.



The room to the left of the kitchen has tables too benches.  I did non reckon whatever hold back staff.

In this tiny room 2 adult woman grill hundreds too hundreds of sausages

The surreptitious is the sweetness mustard.
I rarely consume sausage too never hot dogs too then I was surprised at the starting fourth dimension bite.

information technology WAS WONDERFUL

The sausage is served on a caraway flavored gyre from the bakery mentioned before too sauerkraut.

At the halt of day two I met my guide in i lawsuit to a greater extent than for dinner at a traditional Deutschland restaurant: Weltenburger am Dom, inward the middle of town close the Cathedral.   This is a large eatery too a solo diner volition receive got no employment finding a tabular array early on inward the evening.

                You tin tell from our meals the portions are LARGE.   And too then are the potatoes.

So Much More to See:

There are many other important sites to see  too you lot volition respect ameliorate details on whatever of these from tourist office inward Regensburg.  The staff hither were peradventure the most friendly too helpful grouping I receive got encountered inward my concluding 2 trips to Europe.   

Some of the other places I visited:

The snuff museum:  What a fascinating history of snuff.   The master setting, tools too manufacturing flora receive got you lot dorsum inward history.

World Heritage Visitor Center:  World Heritage sites are on the top of my move listing but this was the starting fourth dimension visitors middle I receive got seen.  It is located inward the erstwhile tabular array salt warehouse at the human foot of the erstwhile pair too across from the sausage restaurant.   A large tour arrived when I did too then I was unable to reckon much of the exhibits.  However the staff is very helpful, you lot will find maps of the metropolis too other publications  NOTE:  on the starting fourth dimension flooring at that topographic point are lockers you lot tin rent too a costless WC

The Palace Tour:   Thurn & Taxis Palace   I was the solely English linguistic communication speaker on the tour but an good tour that follows the guide is available for rent.  Yes, you lot immature lady a lot of additional data but the guide was opened upwardly to whatever too all questions inward both languages 

The church building of St Emmerem side past times side to the palace is a corking photograph opportunity 

St Peters Church:  If at that topographic point is a tour available or if the choir is performing, effort to schedule your see to relish either or both.  NOTE:  the map inward the church building indicates a WC.  However, solely the porter has access to opened upwardly the door.

One of the starting fourth dimension cities where I learned virtually Stumble Stones.

 Other things I would receive got enjoyed: 

• crossing over the Stone Bridge to reckon some other component of the metropolis
• taken whatever or all of the boat excursions to spots exterior the metropolis (at this fourth dimension of twelvemonth at that topographic point were fewer available too the atmospheric condition was real moisture for a boat trip)  especially to Walhalla
• Visiting whatever of the countless museums

too much more

Solo dining:  In improver to the many cafes, marketplace stands close the middle foursquare too restaurants, the large Galeria Kaufhof  department store has a top flooring eatery amongst an outdoor patio.  Even though the atmospheric condition was non pleasant it was lovely to sit down overlooking the rooftops.  (WC on this flooring is free)

Across from the entrance to the Palace is some other museum amongst a lovely outdoor café.  Indoor seating also available.  WC to left of the courtyard.

EVERYTHING plainly closes on Dominicus inward Germany.   This requires some planning if you lot like to shop or demand an item you lot did non convey amongst you.   I constitute the self service machines inward i location real interesting.  In improver to coffee, drinks too some nutrient items the machines sold can paper.

Juice too can paper

Soup every bit good every bit hot drinks 

something for a concluding infinitesimal meal?

My host laughed when I expressed such excitement virtually the policy inward Regensburg to promote locations where the role of the WC is free.   No buy is necessary to role a bar or restaurants facilities when this sign is displayed.  A donation is welcome to defray costs of added use.

This is an thought I promise volition spread 

Note:  the prepare station is across from this massive mall, Regensburg Arcaden, if you lot demand to replenish move supplies.  The pocket-size data booth had a map of the metropolis too then I could respect my hotel. There is also a costless WC inward the mall too lots of fast nutrient outlets to pick upwardly a sandwich for the prepare trip.  The mall closes before than USA malls, I believe seven or 8 pm too it may also live on shut on Sundays.

I desire to thank Regensburg Marketing for hosting my trip too sharing their wonderful metropolis amongst me.  my tour guide was variety too real accommodating to answer my countless questions virtually solo travel is this city.
