I love small town as Bamberg, I can walk everywhere easily, And know every detail by foot.
Schlenkerla is the best-known tavern in Bamberg, It’s just in the centre of the old town, and only ten-minutes walk from my hotel. So I would pass it several times a day.

At the the first night I arrived Bamberg, I joined a middle-ages style parade that circumambulated the centre of Bamberg followed a man who playacted as a knight. I notice many people went into a beautiful 16th-century building after parade.

That’s Schlenkerla, which claims to be the original brewerie that make smoke beer(rauchbier) in Bamberg, and their version is the most famous.

Founded 1678. It’s belongs to German Trum family. It was said that former owner had a funny way of walking due to an accident, so he got the nickname “Schlenkerla”, which is an old German expression for not walking straight (staggering just like drunks do).

It’s the sixth generation now, the name Schlenkerla is well known in Franconia and around the world.

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier(smoke beer) is the most famous beer Schlenkerla offers. It’s brewed in the same way as other bottom-fermented beers ; But the difference is Schlenkerla produce its own malts in order to get the beer the intense, smoky taste.

Schlenkerla is always crowded with German food fans. Yeah, people love the excellent beer and local Franconian dishes it offers, me too.

I was interesting in St Michael’s Church (Michaelskirche) because it’s a almshouses now. Though I didn’t meet any old people there, I learned something I couldn’t know from other travel guide fortunately.

The roof of the St Michael’s Church nave is very special. It has been painted 580 different kinds of plants since the 17th century. These include plants locally and from faraway countries, And you can find many of these plants in the herb gardens around the church.

You can find the tomb of Bishop Otto behind the altar. He died at 1443 in Bamberg . Don’t miss the hole in the middle of the tomb. It is said if you have backache or lumbago, Just crawl through the hole and you will recovery from diseases.

It’s a unique church which has a ghost room in the world. These white ghosts tell you the terrible story of the hell.

St Michael’s Church Travel Guide

The Michaelskirche (Church of St Michael) in Bamberg is a 12th century church. It stands on the top of the highest hill of Bamberg. It can get great overlooking view of the town.

Eberhard ,The first bishop of Bamberg, founded the abbey of St Michael. The church is built in the Romanesque style.

In the 12th century the abbey flourished. This was the time of Bishop Otto of Bamberg. The abbey went through hard times during the wars around 1525. In the 17th and 18th centuries it went through better times again.

I am not a Black Beer fans, but klosterbraeu is the place I must visit in Bamberg.
To my surprise, klosterbraeu’s German food is much better than some other beer gardens.

klosterbraeu(formerly the Fürstbischöffliche Braunbierbrauerei) founded in 1533, is Bamberg’s oldest brewery. It’s famous for Black Beer (Schwarzbier) of it’s own style.

klosterbraeu’s classic style beer pub. But people rather like it’s beer garden outside.

klosterbraeu’s old beer bar,The interior is very simple but pleasant. Now it’s a good place for private party.

klosterbraeu’s brewery was just around the corner from the pub, we can see the whole procession of brewage.

A range of beers is available here, including three seasonal bocks and the excellent Schwärzla(Black beer), You can only buy these beer at Bamberg.

Stephanberg was a hill where the brewers would store their beers in caves during the warm summer days in the year past. Now, It’s still one site of Bamberg’s finest Beer Gardens(beerkellers).
I walked to Stephanberg at a weekend afternoon, Enjoy Bamberg’s most beautiful view untill the moonrise.

I love this moment of Stephanberg.

The whole Stephanberg hill was a big beer cellar, The beer is just under your feet.

The Spezial Keller (Keller =beer + garden) was on the top of Stephanberg. Founded in 1536 . The Spezial Keller owned by the Merz Family Since 1898. They offer smoke beer as well as Bockbier and Smoked Wheat beer.

Spezial Keller offers a great panorama of the magnificent architecture of Bamberg and is a great place to watch the sunset.

The Old Town Hall was a special place of Bamberg, But a lovely place in my eyes.
I love those rowboats play under it in daytime, And those beer gardens around it in night.

It’s seldom to see such a construction built in the middile of the river. Yeah, It’s the only one in Germany.

The old town hall was built in the 14th century. At that time the Regnitz river was the boundary between the merchant and episcopal parts of town. It was said the episcopates , who owned the center of the town, didn’t agree to build the town hall in their domain. But people of Bamberg didn’t give in.So the boundary river appeared to be the ideal compromise.

The town hall’s core building which finished in 1463 was in Gothic style. But facade was painted in baroque style, This made it looked more colorful in night.

I love those rowboats play under it in daytime, And those beer gardens around it in night. Yeah, You’d better see both side of it.:)

It’s toward evening when I arrived Bamberg, my third station at Bavaria.
The Regnitz river, where Hegel met Napoléon Bonaparte, was just near the hotel I booked. So did Little Venice,on the north bank of the Regnitz.

Little Venice (Klein Venedig) was fisherman’s place in middle ages. They built these small, half-timbered houses, standing side-by-side line the shores of Regnitz, and planted many flowers on balconies. This colorful place was loved by churchman from Italy soon, and was called a nickename as “Little Venice” ,yeah, Nothing special.

Today, Little Venice is a good place for visiters. There are many small taverns, bars and restaurants. It’s also a good place to enjoy Smoke Beer(Rauchbier), a kind of Bamberg’s famous local brew, with friends.

I saw some young guys preparing their camp there, It’s a great idea to be a part of this place.

Best Time To Travel:
In August, Little Venice is the setting for the “Sandkerwa” festival. You can enjoy its Fischerstechen river jousting contest and Italian evening then.
