| Famous glockenspiel in Nuremburg. | |
Journal: From Rothenburg we traveled east to Nuremburg - a city hit hard during WWII.. |
| Church with clock face. It was just behind the glockenspiel above. |
|
|
| Nuremburg has a river running through it (the Pegnitz River) and thus many bridges, like this small stone bridge. | |
|
| Here, a covered bridge with tower to the left and a unique building to the right with many windows peering through the roof itself. | |
|
| Another covered bridge. | |
|
| A view of that same bridge with the surrounding buildings included. As you can see they built the buildings into the foundation of the river channel. | |
|
| A small, wooden footbridge with towers of a cathedral in the background. |
|
|
| This is a castle on a hill built right into the rock foundation. | |
|
| Another view of the castle. | |
|
| Here is a domed cathedral that had taken significant damage during WWII but remained standing. | |
|
| Opposite the dome the cathedral has these two towers, which were seen in prior pictures above. |
|
|
| The inside of the cathedral was stunning - beautiful murals and stained glass windows | |
|
| Here you can see how the bombs shook the building and caused some of the stained glass windows to break, especially the upper portion which is now absent. | |
|
| A Christmas display depicting Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus, probably two shepherds and the three wise men behind them. | |
