Quedlinburg is one of the most historic towns in Germany and experienced its heyday in the 10th to 12th centuries. Walking through the cobble-stoned streets, admiring the countless historic buildings (with the largest collection of half-timbered houses in Germany), and exploring the many hidden corners is quite a pleasant experience. The main feature is the Schlossberg hill with the impressive Church of St. Servatius, where you can admire the Treasury and the interesting Crypt featuring the tombs of King Henry I. and Queen Mathilde. Other interesting buildings include the Renaissance-style Town Hall with the Roland statue in front, and the Romanesque church of St. Wiperti, a short walk away from the centre. Quedlinburg can be easily reached by train in a day trip from Berlin (a change in Magdeburg is usually required).
