Nuremberg
So short post today because I'm tierd and the pictures are pretty self explanatory. I headed up to Nuremberg for my long weekend. There's so much to see in that town, but since I only had a few days, and it rained most of the time I had to limit my touring. I spent Friday afternoon walking around town (in the rain, thanks for the rain jacket mom!) and then took cover in the German National Musem. Lots of cool stuff to see there. After that I went back to my hostel where I met some canadians! They let me tag along with them up to the castle. It was nice to be around some english for a bit! The castle was nice, but it was still raining so we didn't stay long. Saturday I spent the day at the Nazi Party Rally Grounds. They have a sort of musem set up that tells all the history behind Hitler and the Nazis. It was kinda creapy walking around there, but very interesting. So that's it for the post. The rest is all pictures.
Weird add for ice cream. Is this what Germans think of Canadians?
River in Nuremberg, no idea wich one, but it's pretty!
Fountain outside of a church in the Market. Notice where the water is spurtting out from...
Up at the castle.
Weird exhibt at the German National Musem. Soccer balls?
Monument for the Universal Declaration of Human rights.
Pillers with all the articles inscribed in different languages.
Map of the Nazi Rally Grounds. Most of it was either destroyed in the war or was never actually built.
Entrance to the Documentation Center at the Nazi Rally Grounds.
Courtyard of the Congress Hall (uncompleted)
Outside wall of the Congress Hall
Congress Hall from across Dutzendteich lake.
Great Road. Was supose to be 60m wide and 2000m long, but was only built to 1500m. It's now a car park during fairs.
Model for the German Stadium. It should have held 400 000 people. The foundation was laid in Sept 1937, but construction stoped there. It is now the site of Lake Silbersee.
Zeppelin Grandstand, looking over Zeppelin Feild was the only building ever completed. The Feild was used for Rallies since 1933. After the war in 1945 the giant swastika that stood on top of the grandstand was blown up.
Zepplin Field.
