The first Roman ruin we visit in Trier is the Thermen am Viehmarkt a new ruin for us that was discovered in 1987 and opened to the public in 1998

First stop on our exploration of Trier is the peaceful St Antonius church mostly destroyed during World War 2 and since reconstructed

We spend a few nights close to Trier downtown in a one bedroom apartment with an impressive jacuzzi in the middle of the living room

We also explore the other side of the Gera River where the newer section of the old town is located concentrated along the beautiful Anger Square

The most famous of the sights in Erfurt is the Krämerbrücke one of the few remaining bridges in the world that has inhabited buildings

We spend some time exploring the beautiful Erfurt downtown area before settling for lunch eating some traditional Thuringian dishes

Our main stop today is Erfurt and we start our visit with the impressive Cathedral Hill topped by the Erfurt Dom and Severikirche

We eat lunch at the famous Auerbachs Keller in the Madler Passage which appears in Goethe’s play Faust and still has some great food

From the Central Square we make our way to Nikolaikirche, famous as the starting point of the anticommunist protests, and the surrounding area

We spend a lot of time in and passing through the beautiful Leipzig Central Square as most roads and paths downtown lead to it
