Magdeburg

With Magdeburg being the capital of the county Saxony-Anhalt, it has quite a few historical and cultural sights to easily fill a day of sight seeing. As everything is in close proximity, I covered the most relevant ones within a few hours (the Dome, the monastery Of our Lady, the house designed by Hundertwasser etc). That gave me the chance to also visit the park Elbauenpark which was the area of the federal garden show in 1999 and still holds a lot of attractions. Unfortunately, the majority of attractions was closed due to Corona, like the big wooden tower in the shape of a cone, the zip line from top of the tower and the butterfly house. Thankfully, I had rented a bicycle which made it easy and fun to get around the fairly extended area of the park and still see a lot of different things.

So all in all, it was a very relaxed and enjoyable day with some historical and cultural aspects, some physical activity and the beauty of nature. In my opinion, a day is a good time to spend in Magdeburg unless you want to go much more into depth.
