General presentation
Quedlinbourg
Medieval town of half-timbered at the foot of the Harz, with abbey, alleys, squares and very preserved atmosphere.
To understand what Quedlinburg is, you must look at the Old Town side of Quedlinburg, Quedlinburg Castle and Quedlinburg Collegiate Church. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage and mountain reliefs and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. To anticipate also: paves and affluence in the running of Christmas. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Vieille ville de Quedlinbourg
The old town of Quedlinburg is read by its network of facades, its small squares and its old rhythm. Interest arises in listening to the uses: shops, crossings, stops, and shadows that highlight the materials, which gives the place a much richer relief than a simple decor.
Place
Münzenberg
In Münzenberg, we quickly notice an urban scene where details of the building and traces of daily life respond. A moderate stop is enough: the city reveals its true note in the transitions between main and venal axes, without a loaded plan.
Place
Harz
The Harz brings together deep forests, ancient mining towns, steep valleys and often mist-wrapped peaks. The area is suitable for travellers who like to vary rhythms: a day can mix steam train, walk in the forest, half-timbered houses and wilder views around Brocken.
