Klein Venedig

Klein Venedig (Little Venice) is a charming historic fishing district in Bamberg that enjoys a picturesque location on the banks of the Regnitz River.

Characteristic 17th century houses built on stilts over the water, with wooden balconies where fishermen once dried their nets, create a unique atmosphere reminiscent of Italian Venice.

The area is worth seeing both from a land perspective, strolling through the narrow streets, and from the water, using the traditional 'Plätten' flat-bottomed boats. Local taverns offer delicious specialties of Franconian cuisine.
