Kaiserburg is a very iconic medieval building in Nuremberg, also known as Nuremberg Castle, where almost every emperor of the Roman Empire lived here. The buildings in the fort are connected by passages, corridors, tunnels and gardens. The upper floor of the emperor's castle is the residence of the close officials, the lower floor is used by the entourage, and the emperor uses a small upper niche alone. From the wall niche, you can access the emperor's hall, the queen's living room and the queen's living room, the desk in the living room and the double ceiling , all from the 15th century. On many avenues leading to the outside, there is a tower guarding the city gate. Since ancient times, the tower and the castle have been the landmark buildings of Nuremberg.

5.0/5
1 reviews
The Rhine-Main-Danube Canal is an important water conservancy project in Europe, connecting the Rhine and Danube rivers, thus realizing a waterway from the North Sea to the Black Sea. The canal is 171 kilometers long and runs through southern Germany. It is a key component of Europe's inland shipping network. The design and construction of the canal fully took environmental protection and ecological balance into consideration. There are also multiple levels of locks along the way to overcome the height difference of the terrain and allow ships to pass smoothly. These locks are not only a manifestation of engineering technology, but also a tourist attraction along the canal. The Rhine-Main-Danube Canal has brought significant economic benefits to Nuremberg and its surrounding areas. It not only facilitates the transportation of goods and reduces logistics costs, but also promotes the development of tourism. In addition, cities and villages along the canal have attracted a large number of tourists by developing water tourism, leisure activities and cultural exchanges.Nuremberg · 5.5km from downtown

There is a Gothic spire fountain near the market square, which is colorful and gorgeous. Unfortunately, there is a fence outside, so you can't see it up close. It is said that turning the ring on the fence can bring good luck.

The Nuremberg Trials were dozens of military trials conducted by the victorious powers of World War II against the military, political and economic leaders of the European Axis Powers from November 21, 1945 to October 1, 1946. There were also a series of subsequent Nuremberg trials from 1946 to 1949. In the Nuremberg trial hall, there is a tunnel directly connected to the prison. Today, the trial hall of that year is preserved here, and there are also related exhibitions introducing the historical details of the trial.
