Regensburg Travel Tips - Regensburg Travel Guide

Pleasantly replenished we wandered the cobblestone streets, admiring wood-timbered architecture along with the Gothic cathedral. In no time we found ourselves crossing the river to a small island on which the Spital Brewery sits. Spital is a very old German word and refers to a hospital for poor people. It’s nice to see that the poor had such a grand view as the brewery’s scenic beer garden overlooks the river with the cathedral in the background. To top things off, the beer and food was excellent as well. We had the special of the day which consisted of pork in a creamy sauce over bread dumplings. It included a frothy mug of beer and soon we found ourselves harkening back to an earlier time while enjoying the enchanting city skyline.

There was still some exploring to do so we set off again on foot and found ourselves on charming winding streets that opened into vast and empty squares lined with a myriad of store facades from another era. Much as the rain drove me indoors on my first visit, the intense summer sun drove us to seek refuge in another beer garden. It would have been easy enough to return to Spital but we ventured across town and up hill from the train station to the Kneitinger Brewery. It was a big leafy area with lots of locals enjoying the products of their fine city to the fullest. It was unfortunate that we found it nearly impossible to be served but eventually got a couple liters of the dunkles beer I so coveted. We decided to grab some food as we’d have a long trip back to Munich soon enough and ordered up a couple plates of cold roast beef. When the massive plates arrived, we remembered that outside of Munich, these meals are quite a bargain and that one would have easily sufficed. Regardless we dug in with gusto. Between the lax service and our huge snack, we had to nearly run back to the train station. We just made our train, with the train literally pulling out of the station the second we stepped on board.
