Our first foray out of Goettingen was to Regensburg in Bavaria during Octoberfest season. Regensburg is on the Danube River and the bridge was built in the 11th century and is the pride of the city.The city is so clean and well kept and lived in that if it weren't for the narrow streets and the half timber buildings and signs telling when they were built you would think they were much newer. Nothing shabby about this town.
Towers and clocks were an important status symbol through the centuries so if you came into wealth you would build a tower and if you could afford it you would make it taller than anyone elses.
One of my favorite places to eat lunch was the little wursthaus by the bridge that lore has it that the bridge builders ate here and it has been serving wursts ever since. The potato soup with wurst, bread and beer made a satisfying lunch.
