Hike on September 24th, 2021

Bamberg has 7 hills that you can explore and yesterday we decided on 2 of them. First it was on foot (bus would also go) on the Michelsberg to the monastery of St. Michael, which has been undergoing many years of renovation. The arduous ascent is absolutely worth it because of the view of Bamberg!
