About the station REGENZBURG

Regensburg, the cozy, Roman city at the highest point of the Danube, with its unique charm. This UNESCO World Heritage site is characterized by its small, winding streets and the inhabitants' joyous nature. The picturesque river invites you to take a leisurely stroll or even a dolphin cruise, but it also has a diverse cultural and historial heritage embodied in the following:

The St. Peter Cathedral: As soon as you arrive in the city, you can not get around the magnificent two towers of the Cathedral. As the main decor of the skyline, the Regensburg Cathedral St. Peter is the attraction par excellence. The Gothic cathedral in the heart of Regensburg's old town is freely accessible, but can also be visited during a guided tour. This imposing building belongs to one of the most important of the southern gothic style and was built as early as 1273 in its raw form. Inside the 102-meter-high cathedral are two organs, which conjure up a unique and unforgettable sound experience. The Cathedral is open daily from 6:30 am to 5:00 pm, and those who come on Sundays during their schooldays can even hear the legendary Regensburger Domspatzen, a choir with over 1000 years of history.

The Stone Bridge: it is one of the oldest surviving bridges in Germany and is absolutely essential in your to-do list of the Regensburg sights. It connects Regensburg with the historic district Stadtamhof. The construction of this medieval bridge began already in 1135. The bridge also has a lot of legends, including a pact between the bridge builder and the devil that the Regensburgers would love to tell you. The 308-meter-long bridge is also a model of the Charles Bridge in Prague. Do not miss the chance to stroll over the bridge to get a unique view of the city. Especially in the evening hours one can observe how the sun slowly goes down over the Danube.

The Bismarckplatz: The Bismarckplatz in the heart of Regensburg's old town is an absolute highlight of the city. Especially in the summer you can experience the joy of life of the Regensburg at its best. Around two beautiful fountains sit numerous people, entertain themselves and enjoy the balmy summer evening. One feels almost as if in Spain with a Bottelón. From here you can explore the old town, which is teeming with squares.

Stadtamhof: Stadtamhof is located on the other side of the Danube River, connected to the Old Town of Regensburg by the Stone Bridge. This picturesque district of Regensburg is worth a visit for its colorful, juxtaposed little houses. Since 2006, Stadtamhof has been selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with Regensburg's old town. There you will find a variety of cafés, bars and dining rooms, which invite you to relax. Here you can comfortably watch the city from the window and let your mind wander. Stadtamhof is definitely one of the most popular sights in Regensburg.

The Golden Tower: If you climb the 50 meter high Golden tower in the middle of the Old Town, you will be rewarded with one of the best panoramic views over Regensburg. Here you can get a fabulous overview of the area especially in good weather. The tower, built in the 13th century, was the statutory symbol of the patrician families - the higher the tower, the more important the family. The inner courtyard next door is also worth a visit. Overall, the tower offers a very nice activity for the whole family.

The Historical Wurstkuchl: To get a taste of culinary delicacies, you can go to the Historical Wurstkuchl. Next to the Stone Bridge, this family-run business has been selling its delicacies for 850 years. Nowadays, you can also buy delicious homemade mustard as well as in-house sauerkraut in addition to the best bratwursts in Regensburg. Thanks to its perfect location next to the Danube, visitors can enjoy a fantastic view.

Jahninsel: This small peninsula in the Danube is the perfect retreat to relax. There you can relax peacefully with a view of the Cathedral and the Stone Bridge. The Jahninselfest is also held annually here. There are many stalls with delicious food, individual entertainment and lots of live music. In this green paradise, surrounded by water, you can play Frisbee or join one of the many Slackline groups. To get there, just turn left at the Steinerne bridge and walk past the beer garden towards the river.
