Green Man Pages - Regensburg
Regensburg (sometimes known as Ratisbon in English) is a beautiful medieval town in Bayern. It has many churches, the impressive cathedral overshaowing them all. We didn't have time to look at all the churches on our short visit there, and will return to complete the research in Regensburg.
