Hotel Alt-Ringlein

Bamberg is a fascinating city with a rich history both religious and secular. One of the interesting sites is the old Town Hall, which was located in the middle of the Regnitz river that runs through town. It was put in the middle due to disagreements between factions within the city. At night you can walk out onto the bridge that connects the two banks of the river with the building and place a coin in a special box. The placement of the coin causes flood lights to come on for a brief time and will allow you a wonderful view of the building and the two halves of the bridge. It also makes for a great photo.
