Discover the Middle Ages in Germany: Historic Church, City Gates, and Half-timbered Houses

Europe experienced one of the longest periods of sustained growth during the Middle Ages. When discovering this medieval era, Germany is a great place to visit.
Firstly, popular city walks in Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate. The circular route begins at the Porta Nigra, the city's landmark, inaugurated by the Romans in 180 AD and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In addition to mighty buildings from various eras, the circuit enchants with a short section along the Moselle and numerous nice places to stop for refreshments.
Secondly, Aachen city in North Rhine-Westphalia. It has been situated squarely in the center of a tri-border region since the time of Charlemagne, representing the roots and values of the continent in various ways, making it possible to describe it as a miniature version of Europe.
Thirdly, Saxony-Anhalt, home to world-changing ideas. Whether it's cycling along the Elbe Cycle Path, hiking on the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg, canoeing in the Saale-Unstrut wine region, or horseback riding in the Altmark region. Unique landscapes such as the Harz National Park and the UNESCO Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve and a well-developed network of routes make Saxony-Anhalt a good address for active holidaymakers and nature lovers.
Besides, many exciting cities and countryside such as Erfurt, Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, and Bamberg, Bavaria will wow visitors with its Medieval charm and rich history.
