Day 3: A whole day in ERFURT links the past with the present. It was here that Luther studies and was a stronghold for radical thought. Luther became its most famous pupil. Most important, we visit the Augustiner Cloister where he lived and worked as a monk. We also visit the other wonderful sights of the city, the Cathedral, the Krämer Bridge and the Fish Market.
Day 4: Further into the former East Germany today to DRESDEN. In the 16th century the rulers of this area supported Luther but today it is best-known for the magnificent and recently restored Frauenkirche, OUR LADY`S CHURCH, the enormous bell-shaped cathedral that was destroyed at the end of World War II.

The door on Castle Church was the one on which Luther nailed his 95 Articles against corruption in the church in 1517, thereby beginning one of the greatest revolutions in religion. We visit all the famous sites including Luther´s tomb.
