Quiz questions about real spots along your route
Magdeburg Cathedral
Germany's oldest Gothic cathedral stands watch over the Elbe, with construction begun in the 13th century. It served as the burial place of Emperor Otto I and remains one of the most awe-inspiring landmarks in all of eastern Germany.
Green Citadel by Hundertwasser
Friedensreich Hundertwasser's last major architectural project transformed a former fortress site into a riot of organic curves and vivid colour. The Green Citadel features winding corridors, roof gardens and golden onion domes that defy every straight line.
Otto von Guericke Trails
Magdeburg's most famous son conducted the legendary Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment in 1654, demonstrating the power of atmospheric pressure to an astonished audience. Walking the city's Otto von Guericke trail reveals the places where modern physics was born.
Elbauenpark & Millennium Tower
Magdeburg's largest park stretches along the Elbe and is home to the striking Millennium Tower, one of the tallest timber structures in the world. It is the perfect setting for a leisurely family stroll or a longer outdoor adventure.
Elbe Riverbanks & Bridges
Miles of riverside paths wind past historic bridges, flood markers and the wide Elbe meadows that define the city's open character. The Elbe cycle path and waterfront promenades offer spectacular views and a front-row seat to the city's aquatic history.
Monastery of Our Lady
One of the best-preserved Romanesque monastery complexes in Germany, the Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen now houses a modern art museum inside its austere medieval stone halls. Nearly nine centuries of city life have unfolded within these walls.
