HOF, Germany 🇩🇪 - 4K walking tour with captions

We are in Hof, Germany - a city of a bit more than 45,000 people in Upper Franconia / Bavaria. Hof was destroyed by fire in 1823. Many re-built houses feature the Biedermeyer architectural style. Hof's elevation of 500 meters grants it a refreshing coolness, and in the 20th century, it humorously earned the nickname "the Bavarian Siberia." This was due to its proximity to communist East Germany and Czechoslovakia, which brought special subsidies until 1990. Today, tourism plays a some in Hof's local economy. On this evening we see a quiet center, where most shops area closed and seemingly no other tourists around. We start at the Lorenzpark in the south of the the center. We get to see much of Hof's center before we stroll along the Saale river. We our walk at the Bürgerpark Theresienstein. Note: this walk was recorded with a limited equipment on my way back from the Camino de Santiago. Audio quality is rather poor with lots of wind noise.
