Transfer by coach to the historic heart of Wittenberg. Stroll through the market square, where carousels, Renaissance houses, and the aroma of mulled wine create a fairy-tale atmosphere. You will admire the Town Hall and the statues of Luther and Melanchthon, both enhanced by Christmas decorations. You will visit Martin Luther's house. Once an Augustinian monastery, it was the place of Luther's life and work for 35 years. Since 1883, the house has been transformed into a museum and is now the largest museum in the world dedicated to the history of the Protestant Reformation. Next, visit the Gothic St. Mary's Church, where Luther preached. Further on, you will also see the Cranach House, whose portraits are now displayed in the greatest museums. Then, you will enter the Castle Church, considered the heart of the Reformation. The 95 theses of Luther are reproduced on its doors. The splendid Advent crown of the church symbolizes the waiting for the great day and the preparation for Christmas. Return to the boat.
