Saxony-Anhalt combines culture with nature and adventure with relaxation like no other destination in Germany. The unique density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites is a compelling reason to visit Saxony-Anhalt – one of many, because there is also a lot to discover and experience in the surrounding area and beyond the Inspiring Six in Saxony-Anhalt. Over the centuries, exciting new ideas and world-class cultural treasures have been created here in a small area: you can experience the Inspiring Six – Saxony-Anhalt's UNESCO World Heritage Sites – as part of a new tour.
Inspiring Time Travel
Along the way, you will discover prehistoric treasures such as the 3,600-year-old Nebra Sky Disc from the Bronze Age or milestones of modernity such as the Bauhaus and the sites of its design revolution in Dessau. You can take a stroll through the fantastically restored old town of Quedlinburg and travel back in time to past centuries or visit one of the most beautiful women of the Middle Ages in Naumburg Cathedral.
Witness in Eisleben and Wittenberg how a simple monk challenged the greatest powers of his time and created the basis for a common German language. In the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz, enjoy how a travel-loving prince changed people's view of nature and its beauty.
