Amberg..located in the Upper Palatine region of Bayern, home to a population of approximately 41,000 residents. Amberg was first menton in records in the year 1034 as Ammenberg. Amberg also has a history with the US Army..as it was part of the American Sector after WWII, the city hosted Ponds Barracks until 1992 when the location was returned to the city and the barracks closed. In 1796 Amberg was a site of a major battle during the French Revolutionary Wars, and in the Middle Ages was a trading center for iron ore. The city center was a site to bee but it was when I stepped outside of the shopping area that I found a wonderful trail along the River Vilswith lilypads, ducks playing, folks walking their pups..that I really started enjoying the day..it was like a breath of fresh air but with everything within a stone's throw..once back into the main shopping area I found some great side streets with some individually owned shops full of regional items and super nice folks.
