Literally beneath my feet here in Nuremberg lie underground tunnels and cellars. Without which, the citizens of Nuremberg may not have survived WWII. During the amazing tour I learned that the cellars had many purposes throughout the centuries. It can be a bit claustrophobic, but extremely interesting and well worth pushing fears aside.
If I am in Germany any time, Nuremberg will be on my list of places to visit!
I’ve lived here just over a year and discover new things daily! It is definitely worth a visit!
Wow this is very interesting. I had no idea. In the states there are many tunnels that were part of the Underground Railroad to bring slaves north and into Canada. Sad to think there was a purpose for these but happy that many lives were saved as a result. Nice reminder and photo!
Here is an interesting read on the Nuremberg tunnels in case you are interested:

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Those tunnels have a very long and interesting history. I would love to visit Germany to see the historic castles and buildings as well as the scenery.
