Lebkuchen and roast sausages contribute to Nuremberg's fame all over the world. As "Drei im Weggla" (three sausages in a roll), the thumb-sized sausages are a quality "fast food" with style, popular with both Nuremberg citizens and tourists.

First stop, then, has to be Bratwursthäusle, where you can enjoy traditional Nuremberg sausage, fine beer and, of course, sauerkraut. The restaurant is hectic and always choc-full, but brimming with character.

The Nuremberg sausages, first mentioned in 1313, according to the experts, are served on pewter plates, with side dishes and soup in copper pots, by waitresses in traditional dresses.
