Lutherstadt Wittenberg and more
Lutherstadt Wittenberg is considered THE most famous Luther town in the world. Here you are welcome to walk around the castle and town church, the Luther House and the Melanchthon House, the places of work of the two most important reformers Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon, which have been designated as World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO Commission.
Pure nature is the name of the game in Coswig (Anhalt), just 15 km west of Wittenberg. The former royal seat with its proud past lies dreamily between the meadows of the Elbe and the wooded hills of the Fläming. The city invites wildlife watching, hiking, biking or paddling.
