Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany )
Augsburg, Bavaria is one of Germany’s oldest cities. The varied architecture in its center includes medieval guild houses, the 11th-century St. Mary's cathedral and the onion-domed Sankt Ulrich und Afra abbey. Key Renaissance buildings are the Augsburger Town Hall with its Golden Hall. The Fuggerhaüser is the seat of a wealthy banking dynasty and the Fuggerei is a 16th-century social housing complex.
The largest city on the Romantic Road (and Bavaria's third largest), Augsburg is also one of Germany’s oldest, founded by the stepchildren of Roman emperor Augustus over 2000 years ago. As an independent city state from the 13th century, it was also one of its wealthiest, free to raise its own taxes, with public coffers bulging on the proceeds of the textile trade. Banking families such as the Fuggers and the Welsers even bankrolled entire countries and helped out the odd skint monarch. However, from the 16th century, religious strife and economic decline plagued the city. Augsburg finally joined the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806.
Shaped by Romans, medieval artisans, bankers, traders and, more recently, industry and technology, this attractive city of spires and cobbles is an easy day trip from Munich or an engaging stop on the Romantic Road, though one with a grittier, less quaint atmosphere than others along the route.
Augsburg lies at the convergence of the Alpine rivers Lech and Wertach and on the Singold. The oldest part of the city and the southern quarters are on the northern foothills of a high terrace, which emerged between the steep rim of the hills of Friedberg in the east and the high hills of the west. In the south extends the Lechfeld, an outwash plain of the post ice age between the rivers Lech and Wertach, where rare primeval landscapes were preserved. The Augsburg city forest and the Lech valley heaths today rank among the most species-rich middle European habitats.

A Quick Trip to Friedberg, Germany
In this video I share some of the highlights of my quick trip to Friedberg, Germany.
Friedberg is a small town in Germany 25-kilometers away from Frankfurt am Main.
I visited Friedberg during the middle of August and it was surprisingly quiet. There were hardly any tourists around and my girlfriend that I had the town to ourselves to explore.
After an hour there wasn't much else to do in Friedberg so we continued on with the rest of our Central European and German road trip.

Starnberger See und München
South of Munich you'll find the Lake of Starnberg, the lake King Ludwig II drowned June 13, 1886. Downtown Munich didn't change much since then. It's still centered around plenty of centuries old churches, the Royal Palace and the Nationaltheater (Opera) build 1818.

Entry from: Schrobenhausen, Germany
Entry Title: Venice, Verona, Munich, Pfaffenhofen..where???
Entry:
Almost time to move on again... last few hours are spent wandering Venice..finding more bridges, walkways and shops that had escaped our last two days of discovery...
Another diavola pizza devoured and we head off on the ferry to the train station..one last cruise along the grand c**** ..farewell Venice..we will be back another day...
Farewell Best Windows..it certainly deserves it's name that's for sure... 10/10 there !!
Our last Eurail train trip gets under way quickly..have found the Eurail system good to use, once you understand the validating and schedules.. the trains have always been on time, clean and spacious....
The scenery quickly enthralls us.. which side of the train to look out from? Photos...here,there..everywhere... so many postcard scenes amaze us...
Quick change of train in Verona (Italy) and we head into Austria... no border control checks here, a guard may ask to see your ticket/I.D... a random inspection passed.
The scenery in Austria changes again.. snow starts appearing on mountain tops, the creeks flow more rapidly, the air looks cool, the mist is coming down and the chimneys on the homes puff out the smoke from their open fires..
The highway looms high above us with stunning bridge supports giving us a glimpse of the transporters and cars all busily going to their destinations.
The six hour train trip finds us at Munich HBF station,with instructions in hand to get a suburban train to Pfaffenhofen, a small town only 18kms from our destination of Schrobenhausen.
Once again we manage this with ease and are soon off the train in Pfaffenhofen and greeted by our friends and hosts for the next four days..Tom & Miky.
Met Tom & Miky in Bangkok last March, a lovely bavarian couple who have offered to introduce us to Bavaria and it's magic.
lots of chatter, drinks and supper finds us eager for the next few daysprogramme!!
