Regensburg, Germany

When we crossed the border on the Danube into Germany, our first destination was the charming Bavarian city of Regensburg. Also a UNESCO World Heritage site, the downtown maintains its 12th and 13th century charm, largely spared from the bombings of World War II that devasted other more strategic German cities. We chose to take a river cruise through the Danube Gorge, then visited the Weltenburg Abbey.
