NAUMBURG 3 DAYS

God !! why are we here.... must be because its on the train line  to Potsdam.
We have walked the old town from end to end, side to side, looked at every church, there are differences here...Catholic and Lutheran
The big saving grace about this place isn't the BnB Zimmer it's pretty ordinary but the Cathedral  of St Peter and St Paul .Its a true monument to the Middle Ages 13th century, art works sculptures, carvings , iron and bronze works add to its grandeur. There is also an impressive court yard  garden







and outside garden. Naumburg  its self dates back about 750 years.. Today we did  short train trip to Bad Kosen and then took a return 20 min each way boat trip down the river.....a tourist con, should have saved our money.
Met 7 old German blokes over breakfast who are riding bikes for about 160 to 200km per day all in their 60's but one is  73 years of age...it was a fun conversation.

PICS
the main market square,
the cathedral
The last of the old city gates and wall
trams saved from east Germany  AND restored.

EXCITING   not really, remember Olten report, well its more exciting
We think POTSDAM will be exciting so don't give up looking!!
