Klein Venedig

While I thought I would squeeze in all the sights we saw in Bamberg into one post, I thought it would be a shame not to share pictures of the Little Venice(Klein Venedig). The entire day, sunshine and rain were playing a little game of hide and seek. So when we were by the banks of the river Regnitz to view the row of 19th century fishermen's houses, the blue skies popped out just for a while so that I could get these gorgeous shots..:D
It is not possible to walk through these row of 30 wooden houses. You have to be on the opposite side of the river bank to actually view this little delight. Each house has a tiny front yard filled with flowers, patio furniture and an occasional boat tied to the dock.
Notice the two young lads crooning on a guitar on this warm summer's day.
Do you know that there are vacation homes on the klein Venedig. I would have loved to live in one of them.
I spent time watching this lady garden. Did she mind? I wonder... Or she must be used to a bunch of tourists like me trying to catch a glimpse of normal life on the Vendig.


So, which was your favorite picture?

    1. Frau, that's my favorite too. I keep wondering whether that's a grape vine? Imagine grapes growing right out of your window!!!

  4. What a pretty place. Had never heard of it before. I like the last one with all the flowers in a front garden perhaps?

    1. Yes, I think so too. But then, it's a short train ride away from Lohr, so I really won't get to experience living in such a home...
