The German city Regensburg is an old historical city whose downtown area recently was awarded a UNESCO world cultural heritage. It is located in the heart of Europe and of Bavaria in special, at the northernmost point of river Danube and close to the Bavarian Forest. It is directly connected to the European highway network (Brussels/Belgium – Vienna/Austria). The national A93 Autobahn highway connects Regensburg to Munich (120 km).
