Travel highlights Our recommendations: Six stunning World Heritage sitesMagdeburg and Halle (Saale) UNESCO does not award the status of World Heri- tage site to many locations. This makes the situation in Saxony-Anhalt even more astonishing. The large number of sites in such a small area may well be re- cord-breaking. Visitors to Naumburg, Dessau-Roßlau, Wörlitz, Quedlinburg, Halle (Saale) and Lutherstadt Eisleben and Wittenberg can experience buildings, artefacts and architecture of unique historical sig- nificance. Different though these sites may be, they are united by virtue of their exceptional universal value, and this is what makes them UNESCO World Heritage Sites. www.world-heritage-saxony-anhalt.comFor travelers to Saxony-Anhalt, the cities of Magde- burg and Halle (Saale) with their museums, many cultural offerings and shopping opportunities are des- tinations not to be missed. The towers of the Gothic cathedral in Magdeburg, the state’s capital, which was also the city of Otto the Great, can be seen from a long way off. In Halle (Saale), the buildings bear witness to many different eras in the city’s history. The city is also the birthplace of the composer Handel. www.saxony-anhalt-tourism.com/culture-in- sachsen-anhalt The magic of the Harz The Harz is the highest mountain range in northern Germany. In particular the Brocken Mountain, which is the highest of the mountains, and the Harz Na- tional Park have always been steeped in myth and are popular travel destinations for hikers. The Harz narrow gauge railway is a popular attraction for rail enthusiasts, who enjoy riding the steam train up to the 1141-meter-high summit of the Brocken Mountain. Many new attractions have recently opened, such as the longest rope bridge in Germany, which stretches out over the gorge beyond the Rappbode dam, and many other activities for visitors of all kinds including lovers of extreme sports. www.saxony-anhalt-tourism.com/activity-nature THE INVESTMENT AND MARKETING CORPORATION SAXONY-ANHALT IS YOUR CENTRAL POINT OF CONTACT FOR THE FOLLOWING SERVICES: – Comprehensive information and advice about Saxony-Anhalt as a vacation des- tination – A wide variety of brochures and flyers – An extensive range of images and videos for you to use – Support with creating and organizing travel itineraries You can find further services and informa- tion at www.saxony-anhalt-tourism.com 4 TESTAMENT TO OUR WORLD CULTURAL HERITAGE : Testament to our world cultural heritage: Experience history firsthand No other area has as many UNESCO World Heritage sites as Saxony-Anhalt, and there are very few regions which have enchanting palaces and castles, impressive churches and historic parks and gardens situated so close to one another.
