Day 9 - Prague to Nurnberg


Day 9 - Prague to Nurnberg
Today we took the train to Nurnberg. Nurnberg is a small town but has a large historical significance. Nurnberg was the site of many Nazi rallies and the location of the Nurnberg trials.


Nurnberg is our first taste of the quintessential Bavarian town. Although the city center is filled with modern shopping areas, there is a small market area in town that is still Bavarian.

The guidebooks all say that when you go to Nurnberg you must try the "3 im Wecla", which is a baguette with 3 sausages, sauerkraut and mustard.



In the Hauptmarkt area we see Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady) and the Gothic Schoner Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain). Legend has it that it is good luck to spin the gold rings within the gate 3 times.

You didn't say whether the "3 im Wecla" was worth the trip. It looks as if it's enough to keep you full for the rest of the day.

And did you spin the ring three times?

I don't know about spinning the rings but, according to the legend of Rick James, one should always kiss the rings...
