Instead of am Hoff: Rediscovering Regensburg's Bavarian Gate

Discover Stadtamhof: Regensburg's Bavarian Gate Full of Stories

This city tour takes you to a place where Regensburg and Stadtamhof have been separated for centuries yet are inseparably connected. On July 16, 2026, individual guests will experience a 1.5-hour walk starting from the northern side of the Stone Bridge, intertwining historical borders, salt trade, and the unique atmosphere of the smallest district in Regensburg.

Between the Danube, World Heritage, and Old City Edge

Stadtamhof was long an independent, quirky place with its own character. The tour tells the story of two towns on either side of the Danube, of different confessions and calendars, of trade routes and tensions. This is precisely what makes this discovery experience so appealing: local history becomes tangible, while the Stone Bridge, as a medieval landmark, shapes the scenery.

Romantic Corners Away from the Hustle and Bustle

The walk leads to quieter sides of the old town and shows how a former fishing, craft, and brewing settlement became a lively neighborhood with special flair. Those looking for cultural enrichment through a city tour will find authentic alleys, a fascinating riverside location, and strong ties to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Regensburg.

History You Can Touch by the Danube Shore

Particularly impressive is the view of Stadtamhof's transformation from a historic fringe area to today's trendy district. The tour combines architecture, urban development, and everyday history into a compact, informative stroll. This creates a diverse city walk that shows Regensburg from a new perspective.

Practical Information for Participation

The meeting point is located at the northern side of the Stone Bridge, next to the lottery shop. The tour is bookable online and is ideal for guests who want to experience Regensburg at a calm pace with a well-informed view of its cultural heritage.
