Nature enjoyment with border history
From Leipzig to Mödlareuth and the surrounding area
The towns of Röcken, Lützen, Mödlareuth, Burgstein or Sachsgrün are among the many small highlights of the tour from Leipzig to the Green Belt of the former inner-German border. They stand for Friedrich Nietzsche’s hometown. The greatest battle of the 30 Years War. An inner-German border town, which is also called Little Berlin. For the two dioceses of Bamberg and Naumburg, each of which put a church in front of its neighbor. Or exemplary for the priceless natural area of the Green Belt.
It’s a tour of the Saxon province that produced great thinkers. A trip to deserted outskirts that have made history or been their plaything. Hardly anyone knows her today. Peace and nature reign here.
