Well,
Thank you, thank you!
A lovely movie, which left me, an 84-year old fart in far away Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in tears.
It was in 1961 that my brother and I started our kayak vacation down the Danube in Regensburg. What a memorable, unforgettable trip – one where we survived flash floods, a meal of wild caught mushrooms, at least one of which was a poor choice and other challenges. An unforgettable experience to this day, not only because of lovely Regensburg, but because of all the other great places downriver.
Looking forward to more of your contributions!
Jochen Moehr

my favorite part of the trip was the host's enthusiasm and smile throughout the video, but the village as a whole was also nice

Regensburg was the second city I visited in Europe (Munich was first) and it was awesome. The locals are very friendly. The Danube nighttime view from the bridge is beautiful. The local breweries are fantastic

Thank you for this great video, Regensburg is indeed amazing. With over 500 bars, restaurants & multiple historical sites, this place is like no other. Can’t wait to visit this Bavarian city again. Prost 🍺

나는 독일로부터 멀리 사는 한국인입니다. 나는 당신들의 문화와 가치관 그리고 역사의식을 매우 존경합니다. 도이칠란드가 계속 유지되고 번영하기를 기원합니다.

BMW has a factory in Regensburg. My BMW says Made in Regensburg Germany.

Nice report about Regensburg. Also recommend a tour through the old townhall with Imperial Hall, dungeon and also Thurn & Taxis Palace.

I like very much this video, the architecture, the whether, rivers and other things. Congratulations.

Working on a Gothic cathedral is like painting the George Washington Bridge. The moment you finish on one end, you have to start working again on the other.

I liked the architecture of Regensburg best. I was there on Christmas Markets trip down the Danube. The whole trip ranks among the best trips I have ever been on. Such a beautiful place.

Visiting Walhalla in summer is an even better experience (by far). The main reason to go there is the fantastic view and the photos you can take there ^^

@erickgasuz5580 2 years ago

My favorite part was the top of the cathedral, what an incredible sight, although a little scary.

Would have expected Regensburger Sausage as I have eaten it in Christmas Market in Munich. However the Walhalla was something unexpected. Need to visit!
