After breakfast, we’ll travel to the Rammelsberg Mines, a historic silver mining site near Goslar that was in continuous operation from the Middle Ages. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the mines offer a fascinating glimpse into the region’s industrial past. We’ll include admission to the museum, where we’ll learn more about the lives of the miners and the legacy of this extraordinary site.
Our journey will then take us to Goslar, renowned for its magnificent medieval old town, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town enchants visitors with its beautifully preserved half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and the majestic Church of St. Peter.
We’ll continue toward Göttingen, a vibrant university and scientific center once home to the Brothers Grimm. Here, we’ll have time to enjoy lunch and take a leisurely stroll through its charming historic center.
In the afternoon, we’ll travel across the region of Thuringia, making a stop in the picturesque spa town of Bad Sooden, nestled among forested hills. With its well-preserved timber-framed architecture and tranquil atmosphere, it’s a true hidden gem.
Later, we’ll arrive in Eisenach, home to a magnificent historic center and rich in Baroque and Renaissance architecture. The town is home to the Bach House, where the famous composer was born, and Luther’s House, a key site in the life of the Protestant Reformer. Dinner included.
