What to expect
The Stone Bridge 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 remained the city's only bridge across the river. It is a masterwork of medieval construction and an emblem of the city. The bridge has historically caused problems for traffic on the Danube, but it is now only used by recreational and excursion shipping. The bridge is an arch bridge with 16 arches and is a great place to visit with family and friends to learn about its history and significance
