Description

The Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke) in Regensburg, Germany, is a 12th-century bridge across the Danube linking the Old Town with Stadtamhof. For more than 800 years, until the 1930s, it was the city's only bridge across the river. It is a masterwork of medieval construction and an emblem of the city.
Regensburg, Germany is a picture-perfect medieval town. Regensburg dates back to Roman times and is the oldest city on the Danube River. Sitting on the edge of the Black Forest and in Bavaria, Regensburg is in a beautiful location and is included on many European river cruise itineraries. Ships dock very near the old stone bridge, which was constructed in the mid 12th century, and passengers can easily walk into the pedestrian town. This 1017-foot long bridge has 16 arches and is an amazing piece of medieval construction.
Many river cruise passengers enjoy stopping at the sausage shop near the old stone bridge and clock tower for a tasty sausage roll. You can't miss the location; it's usually packed with tourists and locals.
