Splendour at the Palace
Traveling on the Autobahn 70 near Bamberg heading to Erlangen there are curious towers pushing up beyond the trees from the historical Seehof Palace. The 17th century residence sits in the middle of 21 hectares with a large garden and pond.
The Rococo style palace took eleven years to build. In 1695 the Prince-bishop of Bamberg used the stately home as his summer residence. Over time there were many additions.

The Understated Bamberg
The UNESCO World Heritage Site Bamberg, located in the Franconia region of Bavaria seems is a city that feels straight from an old location. Hilly scenes, Middle Age Architecture, Wooden fronts, narrow streets, it is no wonder the 80.000 inhabitant municipality is one of the prettiest in Germany. Good for a pub crawl, however, the famous Smoked Beer still needs to grow on me.
