The Imperial Palace has captivated me since I saw the first picture. Now I've had a few days off and the weather is great. So off to Goslar! The city is absolutely worth a visit even without the palace. Very well-preserved buildings and many beautiful historical buildings. Seeing it all in the golden autumn light is simply enchanting.
P.S.: I'm …

Today we are paying Goslar a visit.

From the Imperial Palace car park, with the still preserved cathedral vestibule next to us, after a few steps we are standing directly in front of the Imperial Palace.

The first buildings were built in 1005, and the current palace from 1050 under Henry III.
Unparalleled in the architecture of that time.

At the end of the trip to Lower Saxony, we went to Goslar.
A very beautiful city, the Kaiserpfalz and the old town are World Heritage Sites ... and rightly so!

The weather was good for us too. Rain only during the refreshment break in the brewery. 😉

Goslar is located directly at the foot of the Upper Harz Mountains and is pure half-timbering!!!

The extensive old town is criss-crossed by small winding streets, everything seems unchanged since the Middle Ages, and yet Goslar is a beautiful, lively city. Definitely visit and let yourself drift through the streets. Little treasures await you everywhere. My personal highlight was the …

Goslar was founded in 922 and became an imperial city about 100 years later. Mining already played a crucial role back then.

There are many half-timbered houses, churches, and narrow streets with lots of cobblestones to see here.

The town and the Rammelsberg Ore Mine are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Wonderful weather in the imperial city of Goslar! You have to stay a little and do some sightseeing. The starting point was the Füllkuhle car park.
From there past the district administration and train station to the Neuwerkkirche to get a special stamp. Unfortunately, the Romanesque garden is still closed, it will only be open from April. Well, I'll have …

Junior really wanted to explore Goslar today 😅 I'm not really into sightseeing in cities, but half-timbered houses are always great...
With the sun shining and loads of tourists arriving on tour buses, it was all a bit too strenuous for me personally 🥵 but since we were already here, I naturally hurried up the ladder to heaven just to …
