The Kaiserburg (Imperial Castle) is the symbol of Nuremberg. From here you have a great view of the whole city. For more than 500 years the Roman-German emperors lived here. Therefore the Kaiserburg is one of the most important castles in Germany.
A part of the old town ist mit unterirdischen Gängen verbaut. Hier haben die Einwohner früher unter anderem Bier gelagert. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg dienten die Bunker als Versteck. Bei einer Führung erlebst du das hautnah und am Ende der Führung gibt es eine kleine Überraschung 🙂
