Quedlinburg, 1 h. stop 30€
A Unesco World Heritage city, Quedlinburg rests below a sandstone cliff that has an abbey and palace on top. Quedlinburg has been left with enigmatic Ottonian and Romanesque architecture from the High Middle Ages when a long succession of Abbesses held sway from the cliff-top. Over five centuries, merchants and artisans built hundreds of half-timbered houses down the slope in the old town and on the Münzenberg hill. There are more than 1,300 half-timbered buildings in all, which may make you wonder if you’ve stepped into the realm of fantasy.
