Berching, Altmühltal

22 July 2013

Berching is a lovely medieval town with a well preserved town wall interspaced with 13 towers.  The first settlement dated AD833.  It is located in the district of Neumarkt, a part of Bavaria. Famous persons include Christoph Willibald Gluck (composer) and Claudia Brücken (singer). 



Berching is very well organized, not a sleeping town but actively advertising itself as a good place to live with many possibilities.  For sightseeing, here is a full menu of tours that one can participate in.

 
 
 

We were quite late there, around 8pm.  Yup, long day in high summer in Germany.  We did not have a chance to do much but walking along the main street, passing a gate to the other end seeing the outside of a church and part of the canal.


When we were heading back to the car park, the parents were sitting down for ice coffee and ice chocolate.  Oh oh, our sweet at the end of the day and sweet goodbye to Berching.
