BAMBERG, GERMANY

Bamberg, home to Bamberg Lace, Bamberger Zwiebel (onion filled with ground meat, mashed potatoes & gravy) and Schauferia (pork shoulder with dumplings & sauerkraut)....hmmm...which one should I try. let's see what they look like first.  

Another cold morning, snow on the ground, early rain but now just a moist, cold miserable day....but we're having fun!!!!

A very pretty town, but it was so cold and rainy.....since I only took 46 pictures (unlike the usual 100+) you know it was bad.

The Town Hall is centered in the middle of the river with bridges on each side. I'll let the pictures talk for me today.



Bamberg is situated on seven hills and encircled by the river Regnitz which runs through the middle of the city.

Bamberg is known for its 'smoked' beer.


The Cathedral of St Peter and St George was built in 1004 and then again in 1237 after it was demolished by fire.  Pope Clement II is buried here, as Bamberg was his hometown.
