Erfurt
Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia, is a true gem for those who want to combine history, culture, and relaxed travel with a convertible. The city delights with one of the best-preserved medieval old towns in Germany. Half-timbered houses, narrow streets, and magnificent bourgeois houses shape the cityscape – an ideal starting point for a delightful convertible tour in Thuringia.
Landmark: The Erfurt Cathedral Hill
The most impressive ensemble in the city is undoubtedly the Erfurt Cathedral along with the Severikirche. They majestically tower over the cathedral square and impress with their Gothic architecture. The climb up the broad staircase is worth it – not only for the architecture itself but also for the view over the city.
Krämerbrücke and Medieval Atmosphere
A real unique feature is the Krämerbrücke: completely lined with houses, it spans the Gera river and is still lively today with small shops and craft businesses. It is one of the most famous bridges in Europe and gives a wonderful impression of historic Erfurt.
Blooming Gardens and Quiet Monasteries
The egapark, a large garden and park area, invites visitors to linger – particularly a colorful highlight in spring and summer. Also worth seeing is the Augustinian monastery, where Martin Luther lived as a monk. The monastery complex with its tranquil courtyard is a place of contemplation and history at the same time.
Enjoyment and Culture in the Heart of Thuringia
Erfurt thrives not only on its history but also on culinary diversity. The Thuringian grilled sausage is at home here, accompanied by regional wines and beers. The numerous cafés and restaurants in the old town offer many opportunities for relaxed breaks during a tour through the Thuringian basin.
Between Tradition and Vibrant Present
Whether strolling through the old town or enjoying the view from Petersberg – Erfurt offers travelers with a convertible a perfect mix of urban culture and relaxed atmosphere. The city is ideally located on the German Unity Road and is a rewarding stop on any Thuringia tour.
