Lovely towns and an abundance of sights and attractions bear witness to Germanyâs rich historical and cultural legacy. 72 Romanesque monasteries, castles, churches, palatinates and domes along the over 1,000km long
âRomantic Roadâ tell of an eventful past when Germany was still ruled by kings and emperors.
The
Romanesque Road boasts plenty of fascinating medieval sights and attractions for culture and history aficionados. The road, which links
Arendsee in the North with
Zeitz in the South, comprises a total of sixty towns offering an incredible 72 Romanesque cathedrals, churches, castles, palaces and palatinates testifying to
Saxony-Anhalt's political and economic importance in the Middle Ages.
Today, the region offers much more than an extensive ski and hiking area and numerous mining museums with mine shaft tours.
Century-old timber-framed houses can be seen in towns like
Goslar,
Osterode and
Duderstadt, in Wernigerode,
Quedlinburg and
Stolberg. Yet, the undisputed number one destination is the
Brocken Mountain, accessible on hiking trails or, more conveniently using the
Brockenbahn mountain railway.
