Quedlinburg by Hubert
Quedlinburg is a small medieval town with the largest number of half-timbered houses in Germany. There are more than one thousand from six centuries. The town has a nice market square with the town hall and the Roland statue, the WHS includes also the Castle Hill with the Collegiate Church St Servatius, and several other churches. The Romanesque church of St Wiperti with its cemetery reminded me of one of these small enchanting churches in England. The charm of the town is more the preserved medieval townscape and not the extraordinary value of individual buildings. However, I liked Quedlinburg less than other medieval towns in Germany, such as the nearby Goslar or Bamberg. But I can not explain exactly why. My highlights in Quedlinburg are barely related with the WHS: the Lyonel Feininger Gallery and the Café Vincent, where you can taste about 30(!) different homemade cheesecakes.
