Regensburg an der Donau




There is not much information can be found in either google or yahoo search about this Stone Bridge.

The text on the back of the postcard saids,
" Die Steinerne brucke ist ein meisterwerk mittelalterlicher Bruckenbaukunst ; uber eine Lange von 310m markierte diese einst die Grenze zwischen Bayern und der Freistadt Regensburg. Den wohl eindrucksvollsten Ausblick auf die Stadt hat man von hier aus. Die Steinbogenbrucke wurde Vorbild fur viele Brucken ihrer Zeit, so z.B. di'e Elbbrucke in Dresden und die Moldaubrucke in Prag."


And with the help of Google Translation

The Stone Bridge is a masterpiece of medieval architecture, Bruck, about a length of 310m, this once marked the border between Bavaria and the free city of Regensburg. Probably the most impressive views of the city one gets out of here. The stone arch bridge was modeled for many bridges of their time, such as The Elbbrucke in Dresden and the Vltava River Bridge in Prague.



I learned some Germany language today :)

Regensburg is such a beautiful City. And not a half bad translation from Google. They are getting better.
