The second day has started at 8:00 a.m., get out of bed and prepare breakfast, 🤷🙈 just spoil the woman 😏.
The 🌞 is shining and it promises to be a beautiful day.
Today the exploration of the area on the Petersberg is on the program and at the end a little stroll through the old town of Erfurt.

Used the day off and of course the weather to finally visit the beautiful city of Erfurt again...
It felt like you were on an anthill, there was a hustle and bustle in this city, and everyone was thrilled by the medieval center of the city.
The KIKA figures skillfully present themselves so as not to be overlooked😊

Erfurt. I got to know this beautiful old town today with a guided city tour. The official end of the tour is after the Krämerbrücke.
There are so many interesting corners to see. The tour was very informative and entertaining.

Today we went for a long walk in beautiful weather but with a lot of wind. We went over the Petersberg, past the cathedral to the Krämerbrücke. There was a lot to see everywhere. We can only recommend Erfurt. It is a beautiful, clean city with many sights. There are also many places to stop for a bite to eat. …

Our walking tour of Erfurt today took us from Petersberg Citadel down to Cathedral Square, past the Town Hall, and finally to the medieval Merchants' Bridge. The Christmas market had brought the city to life – lights everywhere, music, and the aroma of mulled wine and baked goods. The festive atmosphere was truly infectious.
