Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz
FK Deutschland / Germany - 15-Aug-20
The Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz covers a large area of 142 km².
According to park administration, seven palaces and parks are part of the Garden Kingdom:
- Schloss Wörlitz (my rating 5*)
- Schloss Luisium (my rating 4*)
- Schloss Oranienbaum (my rating 3*)
- Schloss Mosigkau (my rating 3*)
- Schloss Georgium (my rating 3*)
- Schloss Großkühnau (my rating 2*)
- Park am Sieglitzer Berg (not visited)
During my summer trip to Sachsen-Anhalt, I have visited six of them. Thanks to warm sunny weather, my first impression was quite positive.

FK Deutschland / Germany - 17-May-19
Neither Luther's birthplace nor his place of death are genuine monuments, so there was a need to present genuine buildings which have a real connection to Luther. He was baptised in St. Anne's Church and he held his last sermon in St. Andrew's church. Both churches urgently need funds for conservation, they are kept open with volunteering guards because of public interest from World heritage visitors. The pulpit of Luther's last sermon looks like many other pulpits, however it is threatened by timber worms and needs to be refurbished. Each site is equipped with donation boxes.

FK Deutschland / Germany - 17-May-19
Wismar is one of few preserved large-scale World Heritages cities in Germany. The city is easily accessible from Berlin and Hamburg and well equipped with tourist facilities of all price categories. Spending two nights and one day there was a good decision, as I like to visit also the interior of churches and museums, and to climb church towers, which requires some fitness. Wismar can be compared with Riga and Tallinn, but it would be unfair to choose only one of them and to skip the other ones. Read OnProfile Data
