The street "Alter Graben" in Bamberg owes its name to its location: It once ran along the outer city moat of Bamberg's medieval fortifications, more specifically the fortification of St. Stephen's Immunity. This moat was gradually filled and built over.
Today, the "Alter Graben" is an inner-city street in the mountainous area of the historic old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stretches from the Upper Stephansberg to the Upper Leinritt.

A very beautiful, narrow alley with some narrow houses. Here you go down the steps to the Don Bosco ferry.

Built around 1772, the town house "Alter Graben 8," located in the mountainous area of the historic old town, is a listed building and, after a meticulous renovation, is now used as a guest house. With its two floors, the house offers spacious living space for up to six people.
