Nuremberg, Bavaria's Second Largest City after Munich
Nuremberg is a city in the Germany state of Bavaria. It is Bavaria's second largest city after Munich. It is situated on the Pegnitz river and the Main-Danube Canal. Nuremberg is located about 105 miles north of Munich.
When people think of Nuremberg, they usually think of gingerbread, toys, Christmas, the Reich Party Rally Grounds, or the Nuremberg Trials. But the old town of Nuremberg in the shadow of the towering imperial castle is more than that. Gothic churches, splendid patricians' houses and romantic corners and spots. An atmosphere of lively co-existence between medieval and modern, between the past and the present, prevails in Nuremberg.
Originally Nuremberg's city wall had a length of five kilometers and five gates. From the 13th to the 16th century the wall was continuously strengthened and is one of the reasons why the city withstood all attacks during this time. Nearly four kilometers of the wall are still standing.
The castle dominates the north-western corner of Nuremberg's old town. In the west the castle starts with Luginsland tower. Between it and the five-cornered tower is the Kaiserstallung. It was built in 1495 in only one year and served originally as a storehouse for grain. Today it is used as a youth hostel. The five-cornered tower was constructed before 1050 and is the oldest building of the castle and city. Further east are the entry to the castle garden and the castle gate. Through the castle gate one gets to the Freiung, where you can enjoy one of the best views of the old town.

A Visit tio a quaint town South of Germany, as I travelled alongside a performing friend, I did find some timme to see this amazing town and of course the wide variety of performers giving their best at Pflasterklang 2008 ... Join me on a little tour and see The Best of... Pflasterklang 2008
(Pflasterklang in itself is a great name as Pflaster is the side-walk while Klang is the sound something makes ... thus Pflasterklang is the sound of the side-walk...)
