On the Road: Wurzburg and Rothenburg
Fortress Marienberg was home to the *Prince Bishops from the 13th to the 18th Century, when they moved into the imposing Baroque Wurzburg Residence. It was severely damaged by the bombing raid which destroyed much of the Wurzburg - some 60 miles southeast of Frankfurt - in 1945. Restoration, however, went on for decades - all the way through 1987.*Prince Bishops were clerics elected by Catholic church chapters who also functioned as secular rulers. Their money, tastes and thirst for the high life lured some of Europe's finest artists, architects and musicians to the region of Franconia in the 18th Cenutry. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, one of the leading Italian artists of the 18th Century, worked at the Wurzburg Residence from 1750-1753; his epic ceiling fresco crowning the grand staircase was magnificent.
Wurzburg, best known for its white wines, is the center of the Bavarian wine producing region of Franconia.
After our tour of the elaborate Wurzburg Residence, Doug and I enjoyed a wine tasting in the former Prince Bishop's Court Cellar.
Rothenburg's fortress walls still stand to protect the core of Gothic churches and gabled houses on the Market Square.
If you're serious about Christmas, you had to visit the original Kate Wohlfahrt Christmas shop and museum that displays vintage toys from as early as the 17th Century.
After our morning tour of the historic district, we had some free time to explore on our own. Doug decided to check out the Medieval Crime Museum, which our tour guide said featured the best collection in Europe of antique objects and documents pertaining to crime and punishment.(blog entries by Heidi Hutson)

On the Road: Bamberg
Our tour began early Sunday morning and surprisingly streets in the Old Town were empty, even though nearly 10,000 + runners from all over Europe were arriving to compete in the 5th World Heritage Race hosted in Bamberg. 
It's easy to see why Bamberg has been designated a UNESCO world Heritage site; there are over 2,400 beautiful listed buildings.
Bamberg was my favorite city during our 15-day river cruise.
One of several entrances to the Bamberg Cathedral, a late Romanesque building with 4 grand towers.
Although it was too early in the year to appreciate the rose garden at the Neue Residence, the grounds were lovely.
Doug and I decided to stop for coffee and watch the start of the race in the Old Town.(blog entries by Heidi Hutson)
