Experience some of the most interesting stops along the Luther Trail far away from the tourist centres...

Attention, insider tip! In Saxony alone, Martin Luther left his mark over a distance of 550 kilometres. Do as the reformer did and experience some of the most worthwhile stops along the Luther Trail far away from the tourist centres.

After visiting the ruins of Nimbschen Abbey, you may find it hard to imagine that Katharina von Bora once wanted to leave this idyllic place. After twelve years in the convent, the nun fled via Torgau to Wittenberg, where she married Martin Luther in 1525. You can follow this and other exciting stories from the time of the Reformation on your 4-day tour through Saxony.
