The rathole that became World Heritage
An audio walk through Regensburg's UNESCO-listed Old Town: from the Roman north gate, the Porta Praetoria, past the Donkey Tower and St Peter's Cathedral with its Devil, his Grandmother and a laughing angel, via Neupfarrplatz to the Golden Tower, into the Old Town Hall of the Perpetual Imperial Diet, to Don Juan of Austria, Haidplatz and the house where Johannes Kepler died. Then across the Stone Bridge to the Little Bridge Man and Stadtamhof – and back to the grill of the world's oldest sausage kitchen. Find out why the city's Roman birth certificate has typos, why the cathedral took six hundred years, how a parliament didn't go home for a hundred and forty-three years, and why the famous wager with the Devil can't have happened. About 2.8 km, with scenes from Regensburg legends and up-to-date 2026 information.
