Looking at Bavaria today it is difficult to imagine that the area was once a tropical archipelago inhabited by dinosaurs and other long extinct creatures. More recently, the dominant species here has been Homo sapiens sapiens – modern Humans.

Around 10,000 years ago the ice that had covered large parts of Europe (Bavaria included) retreated. This allowed societies to develop and later flourish. These ancient peoples have left many traces, some obvious, such as gigantic earth works and burial mounds, some more subtle, such as place or river names. Dark History are pleased to offer tours that explore and attempt to make sense of these traces of the past.
 

We are pleased to offer a new tour which takes a look at the history and archaeology of Regensburg.  In the Roman period, an impregnable fortress, with a garrison of 6000 Legionaires, was built here. Warfare along the Roman frontier in this region was at times endemic. These days Regensburg is not quite so hectic.
