Naumburger Dom
Naumburg Cathedral is one of the major cathedrals of the Central European Middle Ages and a top attraction on the "Romanesque Street" in Saxony-Anhalt. The unique pieces of art in the western choir, the donator characters/Stifterfiguren show margravine Uta, one of the "most beautiful women of medieval times" and her anonymous creator, the "Master of Naumburg". Furthermore you can find the oldest stone sculpture of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia, modern windows created by Neo Rauch with scenes from her live, and wings of the altar designed by Lucas Cranach.
The house in which the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche spent his childhood and youth. Today it holds an exhibition about his life and work.

See the boarding school of famous alumni portense: poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724 - 1803), philosopher Johann Gottlieb (1762 - 1814), mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius (1790 - 1868), historian Leopold von Ranke (1795 - 1886), Egyptologue Richard Lepsius (1810 - 1884) or philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900). It has been a boarding school with humanistic origins since 1543. Now, a boarding home for 300 pupils from all over Germany and subsidized by the state Saxony-Anhalt. Several German movies like "Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer" were shot there. See the church of the monastery, the nice park behind and stroll through connected building of the school, but don't try to open doors. There will be classes going on.
"flower ground"
Beautiful landscape right at the confluence of rivers Saale and Unstrut, with a small ferry (only for pedestrians and bicycles) powered by the natural flow energy of the river, vineyards, Baroque rock reliefs depicting scenes from the Bible called the "stone picture book", and the villa of the artist Max Klinger, who described this area as a "Toscana of the North". There is a campsite and kayak/canoe jetty and rental.
