Bamberg

From the crypt of the Bamberger Dom

In the gothic cathedral of Bamberg is a crypt. In the crypt are the remains of some bishop. I'm not very interested, actually. But this guy caught my eye, and I decided to snap a photo of him. I think his facial expression is hilarious. Probably not intended, but funny it is.

Fränkischer Stier

Nürnberg, Würzburg and Bamberg are the main cities in a very historically important region called Franken. Although it's technically still Bavaria, don't tell them that.

Unlike their southern neighbours, they drink more wine than beer and speak a dialect that is unintelligible to other German speakers.
