Shady spots
SHADY PLACES IN REGENSBURG! In summer, the shady spots in Regensburg are naturally in great demand. Fortunately, the entire Old Town is surrounded by parks and a green belt. This belt was laid out in the form of avenues connecting the parks from the western Old Town to the eastern Old Town. Around 1800, Prince Karl Anselm von Thurn und Taxis had Prebrunnallee, Fürst-Anselm-Allee and Ostenallee built in the English style. Since then, you can take a leisurely stroll through…

Regensburg Dult
Regensburger Dult as an offshoot of the spring and fall fairs of the Middle Ages. The Regensburger Herbstdult is still on until September 9th. As I’m not a Regensburg native, I was interested to know where the DULT actually comes from. According to the Duden dictionary, the word DULT simply means fair.
