Gaustadt Lock on the Regnitz

Highlight • Structure

A remarkable lock. The old structure, equipped with modern technology, allows the ship's captains to operate the lock themselves.

Formerly an industrial area, the island was transformed into a residential and recreational area as part of the 2012 State Garden Show. It features numerous interesting features. The dense network of paths makes it easy to explore by bike.

Weidendamm Riverside Path

Highlight • Trail

Just a cycle/pedestrian path... nothing special and by no means a highlight. Weidendamm is the name of the street above.

Former Hauptwache Bamberg

Highlight • Historical Site

The former Hauptwache at Hauptwachstraße 16 in Bamberg is a two-storey building made of sandstone in baroque style with a mansard roof.
In the years 1772 to 1774 it was built for the military on behalf of Prince Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim. The construction was carried out by Johann Joseph Vogel according to plans by the architect Johann Georg von Roppel. The military trophy and coat of arms reliefs were created by the sculptor Johann Bernhard Kamm (1736–1816).
