About this tour
This afternoon session covers Weißgerbergasse, a lane of restored half-timbered houses that once belonged to the city's tanners. You see the open drying galleries built into the upper floors and the riverside the trade once depended on directly behind the row. It is a quieter, more visual companion to the evening Gostenhof session.
I keep a relaxed pace along the lane, pointing out the practical details built into each house. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards on the tanning trade's history.
This suits anyone who wants a calmer daytime walk with genuine craft history attached. It also pairs well with the evening Gostenhof session for two very different sides of the same city.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
