Trabant
by antistar
Outside of the five star Bamberger Hof Bellevue hotel were rows and rows of sparkling luxury cars, like huge Beamers, slinky Mercedes coupes and Italian sports cars. Every single one was brand new, and freshly waxed, and as well presented as the well dressed couples that trotted along the sidewalk outside. Every car except one, that is. Wedged inbetween a shiny BMW and an muscular Alfa Romeo, there was this tiny old Trabant with rust mottled beige paintwork. It was my favourite of them all.
Beer in Bamberg
by Travelchili
Bamberg is the home of the famous `smoked beer', which Germans call Rauchbier, a great local specially that some people believe is tasting like liquid ham (I didn't - actually found it very good!!). The smoky flavour is obtained by exposing the malt to the harsh, aromatic smoke of burning beach-wood logs. Smoked beer is among some 50 different types of beer the town serves. Nine breweries still operate in town, and about 90 in the surroundings, giving this region the highest density of breweries and beer worldwide.
Sit down in one of the local restaurant-pubs where you can try the local beer and eat local dishes - you will not be disappointed!!
The nearby village of...
by richiecdisc
The nearby village of Buttenheim is home to two of the best brewpubs in the area and some of the driest, most hoppy beers in Germany. Both offer accomodation and are on the same street so it's a worthwhile one night stand if you are on your way from Bamberg to Nuremberg. Brauerei Gasthof Lowenbrau at Mark-str. 8 is the more down to earth place and Brauereigaststatte St. Georgen at Mark-str. 12 is a bit more upscale though not haughty in the least. Both of their Kellerbiers are a must for any lover of hoppy bitter brews. This is St. Georgen pictured and thanks to Doreen for stopping here on our way back to Munich.
Keesmann
by bonio about Keesmann
In the suburb Wunderburg, about ten minutes walk along the canal bank, or bus #5 I think. Another very traditional yet very friendly place. Food excellent as is the beer, Mrs Bonio's favourite in town!
Karmelitenkirche
by Cristian_Uluru
Karmelitenkirche was built in Baroque style by Johann Leonhard Dientzenhofer from 1692 to 1701. In 1589, the Carmelite moved into the monastery built near the church. The Baroque facede of the church is simple. In the monastery you can see a late Romanesque cloister from the 13th century.
