Regensburg

Regensburg was the first capital of Bavaria, the residence of dukes, kings and bishops, and for 600 years an imperal free city. Regensburg is located at the confluence of the Danube and Regen rivers, at the northernmost bend in the Danube. To the east lies the Bavarian Forest. Regensburg is the capital of the Bavarian administrative region Upper Palatinate. The large medieval centre of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Oskar Schindler lived in Regensburg for years, and today one of his houses bears a plaque to his achievements commemorated in the Steven Spilberg epic Schindler's List. 

We, a group of international students, decided that Regensburg is worth of visiting. And so, on sunny Sunday, there was 11 of us, who explored the city together =)
