Fun presents in Nuremberg

Presents from Nuremberg, Germany

Fun presents found at my hotel room. A box of Lebkuchen and the artist Albrecht Dürer as toy figurine. Actually Nuremberg is for both pretty famous. By the way a big exhibition with the works of the young Dürer will open on May 24th. A good reason to go back to Nuremberg soon.

City wall of Nuremberg

Town wall of Nuremberg, Germany

Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is still surrounded by a city wall to a large extend. From my hotel located next to the wall I had this excellent view of the guard’s walkway.

A gondolier in Nuremberg

Gondola at the Pegnitz in Nuremberg, Germany

While my visit at Nuremberg I was told there is one man with a licence for a gondola. After some hours watching the river in the middle of the city I was able to catch him on a photo. The building in the background is named ‘Heilig-Geist-Spital‘. During medieval times it used to be a home for old and sick people.
