"Two return tickets for Naumburg"
"Are you going to visit Naumburg?"
"That is indeed a good choice, I'm sure you'll like it!"
Naumburg is one of the most beautiful towns in central Germany.
In the Middle Ages the cathedral town had its heyday as an important fair and trade centre.
Today impressive old burgher houses,
the town fortifications, the magnificent market square,
and the world-famous cathedral
all bear witness to this rich and colorful history.
The town is nestled in a charming cultural landscape which owes its unique character to terraced vineyards, castles and ruins still towering over the river valleys,
recalling a time when the first German kings and emperors resided here.
It was a trip through history, as all my ramblings in East Germany.
It was a pleasant surprise, a total discovery, the first step into this journey into Germany as a beginner.
