A quest for a treasure!

This is the Amburg Train Station

My treasure is behind me on the top of the hill

This is where I am hiking too

Walk along the street

Over the driveway

Around the corner

Under the Bridge

 

Start up the hill

Keep walking up the hill

Uphill through the parking lot

Up the sidewalk

 

Keep going up the hill and around a slight curve

I'm almost there right? Wrong!

Up the first set of steps

Keep walking up the stairs

More stairs!

 

End of the stairs, now just up the cobbled pathway covered in snow and ice

Through the trees

 

Look you can finally see the Cathedral through the trees

A nun headed to the Cathedral for the service

Almost there FINALLY

 

Close enough to get a good picture

Finally made it

 

This is my real goal though, it is a restaurant next to the Cathedral, it has wonderful deserts, pretty cheap too.

The TREASURE!!!

The German name translated into English is Wind Bag, it is a HUGE cream puff.

It is GIGANTIC!

I think I'm done, I'm full at least

Nope I'll eat a little more I'm stuffed

Done!

Inside the Cathedral

A side shot

A life size statue of the Apostle John

The Cathedral

 

It is a beautiful view from the top of the hill, where the Cathedral is located, all of Amburg below, and snow covered fields in the distance

The hike to the top of the hill from the Train Station is about a half hour - 45 minute walk upwards, it is almost all uphill. However, you burn enough calories hiking up the hill, to be able to eat the HUGE cream puff (if you can finish it), without feeling guilty over eating it, (or attempting to eat it!). It was a good walk, and killed a couple of hours while I was waiting for the train back to Regensburg to arrive. I could only take a few pictures in the Cathedral because its service was about to start.
