i'm standing above the jag over on the shore you can see the beautiful old town and this bridge is the stone bridge built at the beginning of the twelfth century it's believed to be the oldest surviving bridge and germany. i mean reagan's for a king and very. to be honest the bridge doesn't look that old that's because it's been completely restored over the past few years after all reagan's work has a title to defend its is two thousand and six its old town including this bridge has been a unesco world heritage site today i want to get to know regensburg what attract visitors to this unesco world heritage site and what does the constant influx of tourists mean for the city this much is certain it's going to be a journey through two thousand years of history. will also show you nearby. belgium book abby.

will find out what the growing popularity of cruise ship tourism means for regensburg. and world catch up with our globe trotter in the city of kharkiv in colombia. the fact that reagan's burg is such an old and well preserved city is largely thanks to it not having been destroyed in the wars and its importance as an imperial city in past centuries. a testimony to its former significance is the gothic cathedral construction began in the thirteenth century. and the cathedral tells us a lot about that time as the facade also depicts the crueler side of the middle ages. the church vilified jews. this culture shows them suckling from

a pig a deliberate insult and humiliation as pigs are considered unclean in judaism. even so the building as a whole is an impressive monument. next to the one in cologne ring and cathedral is considered to be germany's most extraordinary gothic cathedral. reagan's berg was not only important because it became a bishop seed fairly early on the danube was a significant trade and traffic route and here on its banks in the old town hall the perpetual diet or rice stock was held for over one hundred forty years with.

to find out more about what that was and what it meant for the city i'm meeting the director of the reagans birth museums dogless gas still. believing that. the us had what exactly was the perpetual diet. from the seventeenth to the early nineteenth century and reagan spoke was actually the capital of europe a bit like brussels today. the natural diet was convened in sixteen sixty three just a few years after the thirty years rule. the representatives from all countries from all cities gathered here they were supposed to discuss taxes and military issues but the talks then dragged on for so long that they never came to a final agreement and went to bed horror at least not for one hundred forty three years until eighteen zero six yes tim your thoughts on the takes the whole not. the estate why was it set up in reagan's burg links book passion in the several big

gatherings had already taken place in. the city is located on the danube and the door now so the emperor was able to travel to vienna along the river that infrastructure was unique and offered short travel times messages could reach the chancery in vienna within three days and vice versa. next to the infrastructure there was a second key factor namely that hagen's book was an imperial city. that it was not part of the surrounding duchy of the various but was directly subordinate to the emperor and more or less belonged to him and because it's so he. i must have a daughter what did the rice tag mean for reagan's birth of the ghetto i imagine so many powerful people coming here when money was being spent and it probably brought the city some other perks to. stop over in the to leave as of course pickens book was a prosperous city and an international meeting place. almost every aspect was rented

out to diet envoys or to their entourages the city was booming a lot of diplomats held negotiations with other countries here because it was the shortest distance to travel. and back then the city had an international flavor. that so. called my attention to an interesting new york the bird on the wall is standing on one foot and holding a stone in its claw it's meant to remind the envoys to pay close attention to the debates whoever falls asleep is dropping the ball or here the stone and disturbing the diet. admittedly there is no way for me to know how the envoy spend their free time all those years ago but my guess would be that more than once they found themselves just a couple of kilometers of the river at the danube gorge it's where belt a book common stands it's home to one of germany's oldest breweries and up to this

day well worth a visit. the most beautiful reactivating book abbey takes you across the river through the danube goetsch between limestone walls up to seventy meet his time. for the full experience hope the next it is the traditional boats of the danube fisherman. but it is the oldest group in good working once upon a time of rowing was the only option but no one does that anymore. now we have a motor but we often turn it off to give people the full experience of rooms you can hear the silence it's very special but it's. well you know when you hear nothing you can see a lot. for example you can see the rock formation the three warring brothers. alternatively you could hike. like haiti and haven't

the money for them hiking is not recreation it's work because all runs the small restaurant i know you'd like your style or little hermitage which you can only reach by foot it's worth the journey the building complex used to be a franciscan monastery founded by a hermit the unique church has no proper ruth only the cliff which curves of the head. the frescoes with biblical scenes from the sixteenth century. tammany man found out by chance that the historic hermitage was for sale and turned it into a heritage site. is a wonderful interface and closer visit beautiful rockwell church had been closed for years so i wanted to put it back in the spotlight and open it to the public starts. with. the

first guests arrive early in the morning and are given a tour of the cave fright next to the church. as are here you know who got off from this cave is called gold oven as an alchemy just once lived here before these pits in the rocks were carved by hand and housed wooden beams used probably to support a wooden house. we reach our destination veteran book abbey. an impressive building right on the danube much settled here and around the years six hundred seventeen that makes it the oldest monastery in bavaria. over the years the benedictine monks kept on building the abbey. the eighteenth century church knows it splendid to the us some brothers who designed many churches in bavaria. but for many guests the reason they came is the big garden there has been great in the monastery for more than one thousand

years another reason why more than half a million people come to vote in the abbey every year. the mosque where you're from here i don't undermine either promise prayer years back there are now we are from south korea from busan the hundred very much this was not as good. back in the slightly rainy reagan's burg i have an appointment with my ts paetec at the nine plants he shows me the outlines of the former jewish synagogue. reagan's burg is like many many evil cities if you dig here it's likely you'll discover something in one thousand nine hundred five traces of the two thousand year history of the city were uncovered during construction work on knife up plots. were.

looking at this and as you've probably noticed we're underground now what's exciting here is that you can see recognizable old remains to the wall with that's classical middle ages about seven hundred to eight hundred years old and. it's insured now if you take a step forward and look down over the parapet you see those stone. they may not look that special but they're from roman times two thousand years ago. tauzin to. the thirty's and then if we go through this arc we come to a second seller who gets here. and. what is interesting here is that all the sellers in the documentation center come from the former jewish quarter in a very dense book since kay learned this. and i think this book. also has eons and so what we're seeing here are traces of the jewish families innovations borg. they lived in the city for five hundred years. then that they

were the end of the middle ages when reagan's book was an impoverished and needed a scapegoat exclusion and discrimination of jews began to increase. their first. something this community. and to be often fit all culminated in fifteen nineteen when the approximately five hundred people living here were driven out. simply expelled from the city. better when they demolished the abandoned buildings just a few days later probably so that no one would ask what had been there before. and on the resulting square they built a church which is the noise. which is why it's called noise or new. plots. of on the surface today there's nothing to see of those demolished houses but the sellers are preserved underground. the excavations at nine five plots took

three years during which time archaeologists even found a gold treasure the documentation center doesn't have signs or big means on send the structure can only be accessed on guided visits but don't let that scare you off it's really worth it we. tend to hop on over to the other side of the pond to meet our globe trotters steve hayes she's been visiting columbia's caribbean coast off we go. to start things off here and. we take part in a free tour to get an overview of your town and all the things you need to see your . contacts a know was founded in fifteen thirty three by a spanish commander and became the main port for trade between spain and its overseas empire. in one thousand nine hundred four the trainer's port fortress and

other monuments including the walled old town were designated a unesco world heritage site. of a cool thing to doing to him and to walk the old city wall which is it is especially cool in the afternoon when you have the best light to take some awesome photographs and it's also where you can see the contrast of the old city and the new. spot. and how to finish off an afternoon walk on the old city wall as they come get him out which is probably one of the best spots to watch the sunset. today with row one hour of the coast have been out to edge for tomorrow this is a book and i'm filled with hamas and we're basically here. to take it off and that . i'm one of those twenty three meters high and has

a depth of two thousand three hundred meters so i mean not that much but you can generally. come. when i walk in certain neighborhoods where we say it's a mine and it's a really cool area it's mostly up and coming neighborhood right next to old town. and some regulars here come back in and. then we take the bus and we take them over time. and then moving and moving on their own. leak to. the right coming up there now we're taking. the surface stuff. timing how about you nice

actually a little fishing village street how would solve the problem you know to get a taste of the local life and to be in a spot with the way less tourists and think on their mom told me his philosophy for that. the prices for good food straight from the source were low and the beach was simply perfect with nobody trying to sell you souvenirs this was truly a place to enjoy. what have you got in colombia. right next to be a story stonebridge you'll find the votes to cool the sausage kitchen a true vegans bird classic in the twelfth century the building was used as a storage room for construction equipment later it was turned into an eatery and since the beginning of the nineteenth century it's where reagan's burghs most

famous bratwurst or charcoal grills sausages are made. just for. a young girl i've been told that your restaurant isn't to be missed what's so special about it must be from focus on this as one situation here i also suggest which we make plus our khattala which we also make ourselves the. next our couch six on sauerkraut is the name of the typical dish simple but really good and just right if you're feeling packaged on your tour. after being declared a unesco world heritage site in two thousand and six the reagans were experiencing a full blown tourism boom numbers of visitors have soared ever since. and one of

the main reasons for that is the growing popularity of river cruises on the dam you some of the locals on the other hand aren't too enthusiastic about their new found fame. in summer of two thousand and six the old town of reagan's book becomes a unesco world heritage site a time for it's fantastic i hope for this for a long time both deferred. they were euphoric celebrations in the city. you know we did it to the world heritage status is a rare distinction but today. god said wardrobe and sheryl were happy for you and we were proud that things have gotten out of hand to close on to what nobody ever really wanted to be a world heritage site because nobody really thought about the consequences we just wanted to get in the tourist brochures and there was a big boom back then what's going to be at first it was nice to see so many people come but now it's turned a little market just going to. put some of the instructors the own stores has

become too much. the city continues to attract masses. every year the tourism office and else is new records for overnight stays day trippers and the cruise line is his passengers stroll through the old town. if they came they sometimes don't even remember what city they were in by the evening. the number of giant river cruise ships has skyrocketed the den you trip is especially popular among senior american and australian citizens which is great for the city but rather annoying to some locals. but many are sick of the roaring diesel engines and the constant coming and going of the water borne hotels. you can believe that shit probably can't get much more

than this but do we have to reach that maximum point considering what it costs residents but didn't want to if people living over there don't like it either like it was written for the city recently limited the number of cruise ships to one thousand five hundred landings pay year but the boom since the unesco title has also brought other consequences it's lit investments and new construction projects a shooting up everywhere. real estate prices have exploded and the gentrification of the old town is progressing. to get you know by the folks at the now they also want more guided tours and hotels and while residents hardly live there anymore. there are a few students who like to party but you can't imagine a family or an old couple there anymore although they're being forced out unfortunately even for the things like this where. the number of tourists increased again last year but now they can spot has put forward

a new tourism plan which tries to consider both visitors needs and the quality of life of those people who live. on the banks of the danube during peak season is lined with cruise ships i meet with peter i'm lost he has the organization friends of reagan's berg's old town it's one of the oldest citizens initiatives in germany and as the name implies it's concerned with preserving the city's historical heritage their most recent coup was to prevent the construction of a convention center in the old town to hide from the rain we seek cover in a former royal villa which today houses the bavarian monument office and was known most valued really worked as a tourist guide and reagan seeburg what's your take on this tourism boom. i think it's very positive because i experienced the humble beginnings when there were six hundred guided tours in the year and now we have more than six thousand. guided

tours before it makes me happy every time i walk through the city and see people from all over the world enjoying reagan's borg fest indeed if you also understand more critical voices those who say it's too much for regensburg it can do i know these voices but i don't quite understand them because as in many cities and tourism here moves along specific paths just as in prague where it goes from the old town square to the charles bridge to prague castle in the here it's just over the stone bridge to the cathedral to the old town hall way to the left and right of this it's calm and i don't have to walk right through the crowd when it's busy i can also choose a side street and. tell me a bit about the organization you lead and your work there we kind of flushed it yeah but for this new friends of the old town is a group that was founded in one thousand nine hundred sixty six and it has no political mandate and no direct power. kind of model it's committed to raising the alarm whenever the old town is threatened with any danger and if opt out a concrete example was in the early one nine hundred seventy s.

when there were plans to build a major road along the danube from one end of the old town to the other closer to the window and longing for our name into the which we simply held a protest there and prevented it from happening to protest or not. just on a whim don't then tell you weren't born in regensburg but you've lived here for a long time what makes regensburg so unique. this is a that's a good question if you're stuck i have a very strong emotional bond to the city and i feel at home here so how is it for i always have it was like when i stepped off the train in rome the first time and felt i'd been there before you marshal or i'm just now i'm half regular and half roman so to speak and you start here in this city is very much worth living in because it's preserved its historical structure both in stone and in spirit. he read or write the whole world was in reagan's book during the perpetual diet but he comes across this mixture of presidential and cosmopolitan is really something that

beautiful i mean facetious you know and you're working hard to keep it that way. what would you say to the first time visitor here and i guess for whether they come by cruise ship or from somewhere else in germany where would you send them what's your top recommendation. it was under saddam i would put it differently i wouldn't give any tips you know instead i'd recommend just coming here and staying a week and going where the wind takes you stops with discover the city on foot onto his own it's not like there's any other way to get around town and just drift along and let the city work its magic and then follow your interests you know are you looking for gothic architecture in the cathedral heat or are you after something romantic or do you just want to sit in elegant cafes or experience the beauty of the river or take a boat just let it happen for you thanks for the talking point. what

secrets behind these we. find out in any of the mercy of experience and exploring. cultural heritage sites. w. world heritage three sixteen fifteen. if you're ever in regensburg and. looking for a really great place to eat this is the right spot or fake in the very heart of the city is a reagan's very institution the former brewery was taken over by students in one thousand nine hundred seventy seven and turned into a french style beast show. what

i loved about reagan's birth is the fact that there is an interesting story waiting around every corner from the romans in the middle ages to the efforts of solving early european conflicts and the right stock plus the regional specialties are delicious no wonder really are in the very after all.
