Day 7 Bamberg

This morning was spent cruising along Mien river on our way to the Danube. We arrived in Bamberg after lunch. Here we visited yet another 11th century cathedral. The city center is styled along a medieval city. This was a very short visit in town and so did not get a chance to sample any local fare or beer.

11th century Cathedral

this is a replica of a block or stone lifter. The masons built this to show us how they moved large blocks of stone to the heights at which they were working. workers would be inside the wheels much like a hampster and while walking the block would be lifted into place
