===Topography===
Regensburg is situated on the northernmost part of the river Danube at the geological crossroads of four distinct [[landscape]]s:

*to the north and northeast lies the [[Bavarian Forest]] with [[granite]] and [[gneiss]] mountains, wide forests and its [[Bavarian Forest National Park|national park]]
*to the east and south-east is the fertile Danube plain (Gäuboden) which are highly cultivated [[loess]] plains
*the south is dominated by the [[Tertiary Hill Country]], a continuation of [[Alpine Foreland]]
*to the West is [[Franconian Jura]]

===Climate===
Regensburg straddles the [[humid continental climate|humid continental]] (''Dfb'') and [[oceanic climate|oceanic]] (''Cfb'') climate zones under the [[Köppen climate classification]]. While the average temperature of {{convert|8.5|C}} in the period from 1971 to 2000 is slightly above the German average ({{convert|7.8|C|F|disp=or}}), still only 5 of the 80 cities in Germany above 100,000 inhabitants are colder. The average precipitation of {{convert|636|mm|inch|lk=out|abbr=off}} per year ranges slightly below the German average (approximately {{convert|700|mm|inch|disp=or|abbr=off}}). For the newer period from 1981 to 2010 the average temperature and precipitation rose up to {{convert|8.9|C}} respectively {{convert|658|mm|inch|lk=out|abbr=off}}. As this increase in the average temperature can also be seen in the other cities, Regensburg still ranks fifth place (shared with Ingolstadt and Kiel) in the above-mentioned ranking.<ref>{{cite web |title=DWD |url=https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/klimadatendeutschland/mittelwerte/temp_8110_fest_html.html?view=nasPublication&nn=16102 |access-date=18 August 2018}}</ref> With a total of 1670 sunshine hours per year, Regensburg is roughly 120 hours above German average.<ref name="uni-regensburg">{{cite web|url=http://www.physik.uni-regensburg.de/forschung/wegscheider/gebhardt_files/skripten/EuropaeischeWetterlagen.Hagner.pdf|date=26 November 2009|title=Europäische Wetterlagen|author=Ursula Hagner|access-date=2015-08-16|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924072901/http://www.physik.uni-regensburg.de/forschung/wegscheider/gebhardt_files/skripten/EuropaeischeWetterlagen.Hagner.pdf|archive-date=24 September 2015}}</ref>
