Somewhere in Europe, probably central Europe, by a river.

Budapest?

Looks pretty teutonic to me. Are we somewhere in Germany?

It's not somewhere I believe I've been to, and so am struggling here.

I'm inclined to think it might be German, and the river could be the Donau (Danube)........ but am pretty sure it's not Nuernberg or Regesnburg (i've been to both), and research suggests it's not Passau.

Yep, Deutschland, baby. Care to guess which town? It's pretty famous in its own way.

Nope, not the Donau, but this river is a tributary of the Donau. It's also not Regensburg and N?rnberg.

So unless it is a minor river, it is the Inn or the Isar, then......not that this helps with the location identification!

Ingolstadt, home of the Audi?
Title: Re: GTPC 509
Post by: Colin on July 15, 2012, 09:26:18 AM
Pretty sure it's not Ingolstadt. I've been there - and not just to the Audi Forum, but also the town as well.

That said, I am running out of ideas.

It's not Muehldorf am Inn, is it?

So it's the River Inn, and the city is famous..Innsbruck?

Innsbruck is in Austria, and Wimmer said it is in Germany........ I am struggling to think of any other famous places on the Inn that are in Germany!

It's not Innsbruck, which, as Colin said, is in Austria.

This town is very famous. I am sure both of you have heard of it.


Hint: "Water Castle"
