It's the old (partially restored) houses and the atmosphere of this almost 1,000-year-old town that make you fall in love. The market on market days is especially recommended!

Naumburg Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Around the old town, visitors will find impressive remains of the old city fortifications. They served as a separation between the town hall and the cathedral city. The Marientor, which is well worth seeing, is the only remaining city gate.

The Marienaltar in …

Every year, the "income" from our Doppelkopf round - it dates back to our student days in Jena in the 80s - is "used" on a joint excursion 😉 This year we went to Naumburg. We chose the Hotel Vanilla Hof near Naumburg as our accommodation - and can recommend it.
