Neuburg an der Donau

When I was in Germany this June, I took the train to visit a new friend Gladys, whom I just met in my Croatia tour, and who lives in a town in Bavaria. I mentioned I would like to go to Neuburg an der Donau, which was also a good suggestion for her, because she had never been there either. When we decided on the date to go, we had no idea that day happened to be their Castle Festival, a very important event for that town, and they only do it once every two years. We were very lucky.

Gladys was so nice to hire a private guide for an hour to show us around, from the main square to the provincial library which, due to many rare or original copies of the books are kept there, is not open to the public. Then the renaissance parade began. We were both excited to see the local residents dressed in their colourful costumes marching in full spirit. Even some spectators had also put on their costumes to show their respect and support for this special day. Those lovely children are the most impressive. Besides truly having fun, they were genuinely proud of their town and of this festival.
