The world was once changed from Wittenberg, now the world meets in Wittenberg! The Lutherstadt has been a destination for guests from all over the world since long before the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's posting of his theses on the Castle Church. Four UNESCO World Heritage sites alone, the "Luther 1517" panorama by Asisi and the surrounding unique natural and cultural landscape of the Middle Elbe with other UNESCO cultural and natural heritage sites illustrate why Wittenberg is a true center of world culture.
A true experience for cyclists, active holidaymakers and those seeking peace and quiet are the well-developed circular cycle paths, long-distance cycle paths as well as the numerous forests and bathing lakes with excellent water quality.
