The state of Saxony Anhalt consists of the former East German regions of Altmark, Anhalt-Wittenberg, Magdeburg-Elbe-Börde-Heide, Halle-Saale-Unstrut and Harz and offers scenic surroundings, lovely towns and an abundance of sights and attractions bearing witness to Germany´s rich historical and cultural legacy.
About 1,000 years ago, German and European history was written in Saxony-Anhalt. 72 Romanesque monasteries, castles, churches, palatinates and domes along the over 1,000km long "Romantic Road" tell of an eventful past when Germany was still ruled by kings and emperors.
