Travel to the cultural region of Saxony-Anhalt

halle sachsen anhaltTravel to Saxony-Anhalt and immerse yourself in a fascinating mixture of history, culture and nature. This federal state in the heart of Germany has something to offer for every visitor. Start your journey in the state capital of Magdeburg, where you can marvel at the impressive millennium bridge over the Elbe.

Stroll along the picturesque cathedral square and visit the imposing Magdeburg Cathedral, one of the most important Gothic buildings in Europe. From there your path continues to Halle (Saale), a city with a rich tradition and a vibrant art scene. Visit the famous Moritzburg Art Museum or stroll through the historic old town with its charming streets and half-timbered houses.

Saxony-Anhalt also has a lot to offer culturally: Lutherstadt Wittenberg is an absolute must for those interested in history. Here you can visit the Luther House, where Martin Luther lived and worked, and admire the Castle Church, on the door of which he nailed his 95 theses - an event of great importance for the Reformation. In addition to the cities, nature also attracts numerous visitors to Saxony-Anhalt: the Harz offers breathtaking landscapes for hiking or skiing, depending on the season. Climb the Brocken - the highest mountain in northern Germany - to enjoy a spectacular view of the entire area.

On the way to Eckartsburg - summer tobogga in Eckartsberga

Brilliant sunshine in April had motivated us to take another walk, far away from large numbers of people despite Corona, so in choosing our destination we were sure not to meet anyone, which should also prove to be correct since all of the so-called local attractions were closed anyway.
