i'm standing above the day over on the shore you can see the beautiful old town and this bridge is the stone bridge built at the beginning of the 12th century it's believed to be the oldest surviving bridge in germany. i mean reagan's work and the variable 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 the bend and since 2006 its old town including this bridge has been a unesco world heritage site today i want to get to know reagan's one 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 2000 years of history and. we'll also show you nearby vets and book happy.

to find out what the growing popularity of cruise ship tourism means for reagan's burg. and we'll 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 13th century. and the cathedral tells us a lot about that time as the facade also depicts the crueler side in 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 ribbons for a cathedral is considered to be germany's most extraordinary gothic cathedral. reagan's berg was not only important because it became a bishop seat 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 140 years.

to find out more about what that was and what it meant for the city and meeting the director of the reagans bird museums dole is scarce. thank you that. must have been what exactly was the perpetual diet book from the 17th to the early 19th century and reagan spoke was actually the capital of europe a bit like brussels today. the natural diet was convened in 1663 just a few years after the 30 years war. 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 when people horror at least not for 143 years until 1806 yes in yachts and undertakes the whole not. we instead why was it set up in regensburg things book passion in the several big gatherings had

already taken place in reagan's book the city is located on the danube and the door now so the emperor was able to travel to vienna along the river this is one that infrastructure was unique and offered short travel times messages could reach the chancery in vienna within 3 days and vice versa. the next to the infrastructure there was a 2nd key factor namely that reagan's book was an imperial city like 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 it because it's so he. i must have a daughter what did the rice tag mean for reagan's bird again imo i imagine so many powerful people coming here and money was being spent and it probably brought the city some other perks to the stop over in the to live as of course pagans 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. a fact then the city had international play. this out so. you don't just get calls my attention to an interesting mural 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 hear the stone and disturbing the diet. and minutely 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 felton book stands it's home to one of germany's oldest breweries and up to this day well worth

a visit. the most beautiful route to vegas in book abbey takes you across the river through the danube coach between limestone walls up to 70 meters high. for the full experience hop on it sit in the traditional boats of the danube fisherman. all is good in good work and once upon a time of rowing was the only option but no one goes there anymore now we have a motor but we often turn it off to give people the full experience 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 3 warring brothers. alternatively you could hike. like haiti and have

money money for them hiking is not recreation its work the couple 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 roof only the cliff which curves of a head. the frescoes with biblical scenes from the 16th century. canon the 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 this is a 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 1st guests arrive early in the morning and are given a tour of the caves right 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 my social here and around the years 617 that makes it the oldest monastery in bavaria. over the years the benedictine monks kept on building the abbey. the 18th century church owes its splendor to the us some brothers he designed many churches in bavaria. but for many guests the reason they came is the beer garden beer has been brewed in the monastery for more than 1000 years another reason why

more than half a 1000000 people come to vote in the abbey every year. where you're from here i have found that i'm not either for on a spread of years back there are now from south korea from busan the good very much this close up as the. the spear. 1 back in the slightly rainy reagan's burg i have an appointment with my ts paetec at the 95 flats 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 1905 traces of the 2000 year history of the city were uncovered during construction work on a knife op that's. was. 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 the yard that's classical middle ages about 700 to 800 years old. to. its internship 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 2000 years ago taos and. then if we go through this arc we come to a 2nd seller who gets here. and it's. interesting here is that all the sellers in the documentation center come from the former jewish quarter innovations book since this. field in the next book. was museums and so what we're seeing here are traces of the jewish families innovations borg. they lived in the city for 500 years. then that they were the end

of the middle ages when reagan's work with them and needed a scapegoat exclusion and discrimination of jews began to increase. first those. it's going to be often fit all culminated in 1519 when the approximately 500 people living here were driven out. simply expelled from the city using real. bad though they demolished the abandoned buildings just a few days later probably so that no one would ask but it been there before. and on the resulting square they built a church which is the noise issue. which is why it's called noise or new. plots. above the surface today there's nothing to see of those demolished houses but the sellers are preserved underground. the excavations at $95.00 plots took 3

years during which time archaeologists even found a gold treasure the documentation center doesn't have signs or a big mess on send the structure can only be accessed on guided visits but don't let that scare you off it's really worth it. time to hop on over to the other side of the pond to meet our globe trotters steve haney she's been visiting columbia's caribbean coast we go. to start things off here and. we take part in the reach work to get an overview of your town and all the things he needs to see. cuts or fame it was founded in 1533 by a spanish commander and became the main port for trade between spain and its overseas empire. in 1904 the train is port fortress and other monuments including the walled

old town were designated a unesco world heritage site. where the cool thing to doing to him is 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 a way can see the contrast of the old city and the new old spot. and how to finish off an awesome walk on the old city walls as they come to them our which is probably one of the best spots to watch the sunset. today if we drove one hour up the coast from aberdeen now to a cooking this is a book an on field with hamas and basically here. take it off and it. as we can know is 23 meters high and has a depth of 2300 meters so i mean not that much but you can in general.

we're now walking through a neighborhood where we say if the market and it's a really cool area it's just me up and coming neighborhood right next to the old town. and some friends here couple in that. then we take the bus and then we take the motel. and me thing and then i'll. eat. the food we ride coming up there now we're taking. the steps up. our timing could not be nice actually

a little fishing village street alice saw the property enough to get a taste of the local life and to be in a spot with a way less tourists and i think from then off so many is far more 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 done in colombia. right next to be a story stone bridge you'll find the most cool called the sausage kitchen a true reagan's bird classic in the 12th 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 19th century it's where reagan's bergs most famous

bratwurst or charcoal grills sausages are made. to. 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 once eventually here i also suggest which we make plans summer khattala which we also make ourselves for. next hour coutts 6 on sauerkraut is the name of this 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 2006 the reagans were experiencing a full blown tourism 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 2006 the old town of reagan's book becomes a unesco world heritage site for it's fantastic i hope for this for a long time before. they were euphoric celebrations in the city. you know we did it to the world heritage status is a rare distinction but today. god says it will share are happy for you and we were proud but things have gotten out of hand also ought to be 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 were trying to sort it out 1st it was nice to see so many people come but now it's turned a little like it just going to. put some of the conspirators 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 trip is and cruise line is his passengers stroll through the old town. they came they sometimes don't even remember what city they were in by the evening the. good number of giant river cruise ships has skyrocketed the danube trip is especially popular among senior american and australian citizens which is great for the city but rather annoying to some locals. the many are sick of the roaring diesel engines and the constant coming and going of the bush people in hotels. you can run is it's probably can't get much more than

this but do we have to reach that maximum point considering what it cost the residents of the we want to its people living over there don't like it either. i'm with you 1st in. the city recently limited the number of cruise ships to $1500.00 landings pay year but the boom since the unesco title has also brought other consequences it's lit investors and new construction projects are shooting up everywhere. real estate prices have exploded and the gentrification of the old town is progressing. to give you more 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. the number of tourists increased again last year but now they can spoke has put forward a new tourism plan which tries to consider both visit his needs and the quality of

life of those people who live. on the banks of the danube which during peak season is lined with cruise ships i meet with peter maass but he has the organization friends of reagan's bergs 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 permitted on most value previously worked as a tourist guide in reagan's work what's your take on this tourism boom. i think it's very positive because i experienced the humble beginnings when there were 600 guided tours in the year or year and now we have more than 6000 guided tours before

it makes me happy every time i walk through the city and see people from all over the world enjoying drakensberg fifteen's if you also understand more critical voices those who say it's too much for regensburg it can you 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 and here it's just over the stone bridge to the cathedral to the old town hall 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 the kind of question you know i stood for and this is friends of the old town is a group that was founded in 1009 $166.00 and it has no political mandate and no direct power would you choose one popped up kind of it's committed to raising the alarm whenever the old town is threatened with any danger to you and your father told who gave a concrete example was in the early 1970 s.

when there were plans to build a major road along the danube from one end of the old town to the other to the window and longing for an item into the which we simply held a protest there and prevented it from happening to protest you or not it's just on the whole quick and on sometimes you weren't born in regensburg what you've lived here for a long time what makes regensburg so unique. that's a good question if you're stuck and i have a very strong emotional bond to the city and i feel at home here. for i always have we it was like when i stepped off the train in rome the 1st time and felt i'd been there before your martial way or i'm just now i'm half 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. 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 and he was here

for us and you're working hard to keep it that way. what would you say to the 1st time visitor here and i think it's 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 staying a week and going where the wind takes you stops force discover the city on foot onto his 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 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 talk of. what

secrets behind these small. find out in an immersive experience and explore resonating cultural heritage sites. w world heritage 31615. 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 burg institution the former brewery was taken over by students in 1977 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 of 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.
