Germany 2014 - Day 7 - Nürnberg
We finish our
pleasant three night stay at the Kertscher-Hof Hotel in Gleina.
A relatively short two hour+ drive to Fischbach (Nürnberg).
After checking into our Hotel Silberhorn we drove into the
middle of Nürnberg. It is Fall Festival (Herbst Fest) time and
the Main Market Place (Hauptmarkplatz) is full of stalls selling
goods and food and packed with people. It is a holiday
weekend (German Unification Day was yesterday) and the market
and side pedestrian streets are packed. We visited the
small Frauenkirche (Catholic), St. Sebaldus Kirche (Protestant) and
Lorenzkirche (Protestant) churches. Nürnberg has changed
significantly since our last visit in 1976. Very modern
and much busier. At dinner we found a restaurant in a
cellar across from Lorenzkirche and experienced the
Wienerschnitzel from heaven (see pic). for more information on
