Wabbidashery… aka, The Heritage Heaven Tour

One of the hazards of settling near a river: you are prone to flooding. This from today is par for the course:

This from 2013 isn’t:

Thanks for showing around @Tago-Mago.
What about the perhaps oldest continuously open public restaurant in the world ‘Wurstkuchl’?

[Tago Mago]

@Aetas right here in the lower left corner. Apparently they have been serving meals here since the Stone Bridge was built. Sausages didn't become a staple until the 19th century, despite it's name

@Tago-Mago Very good.

[sabergirl]

Wow, thank you for taking us in this tour @Tago-Mago . Those of us with mostly the shortest of American history in our backgrounds appreciate something concrete that lasts.

Worst luck - great name for a restaurant....:-)

Wabby goes Walhalla:

Located roughly 10 km downstream of Regensburg, the Walhalla honours significant German-speaking figures since its inauguration in 1842

Surprised it's that big

[Tago Mago]

I will be taking the Wabby on holiday for two weeks on Saturday and will pass it on once I’m back. Any takers in the south, @weftyarn @Fades-for-future ?

[Fades for future]

@Tago-Mago thanks mate but will pass

Wabby goes to Weltenburg:

Weltenburg is a Benedictine abbey located 30 km west of Regensburg by the Danube gorge. Founded in 768, Weltenburg claims to be the oldest continually operating monastic brewery, having begun brewing in 1050.

To give you a point of reference for these high water marks, I’m approx 190cm/6‘3

@Mister_Brue Heritage Heaven. As long as you free the Wabbidashery from dust, you have to show us how workwear is meant to use!

[Tago Mago]

@Giles note how I didn't post a picture of the inside

Wabby goes Walhalla:

do the germans pronounce that as Valhalla? did you see any walkyries?

[Tago Mago]

@louisbosco Yes, "W" is pronounced like a "V" in German. No valkyries I'm afraid. I would not have missed the opportunity to post a picture of a real valkyrie here

[louisbosco]

@Tago-Mago lovely country side nonetheless!

[Tago Mago]

I have the wabby with me on holiday, I’m just not sure it will see much wear, I’m afraid

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago @Aetas the Wurstkuchl also features in an article in today’s Times. I had no idea sausage rivalries were so intense!

[Aetas]

Hi @Tago-Mago , is this gracious still with you?

[Tago Mago]

@Aetas yes it is. I will write an update tomorrow and then I think it is time to pass it on to someone else. I haven't been able to do this amazing piece justice, I'm afraid. Any takers?
