Day 2 - Wernigerode
Today a guided tour introduces you to the best of Wernigerode.
You'll see the enchanting Wernigerode Castle set high above the
town on a forested hill, a romantic Baroque wonder. After
discovering the town's rich history on your tour, enjoy some time
to explore at your own pace. Perhaps take a stroll through the
Altstadt, or Old Town, where gorgeous half-timbered buildings line
the streets, lending a fairytale touch to the area. The town hall,
known as the Rathaus, is a must-see, with traditional bay windows,
striking towers and pretty stained-glass finishes. For a touch of
local heritage, head to the Harzmuseum where there's a collection
of fossils, rocks and minerals from the nearby Harz Mountains, as
well as interesting exhibits about the town and a display of
beautiful artworks.
