The Reformation Trail in Europe
Germany, the Heartland of the Reformation, offers a great number of places where the past mingles with the present and the memories of Martin Luther are traceable and tangible. Eisenach where he
went to school, Erfurt where he studied, Wittenberg the town of his 95 Theses, the Wartburg Castle where he found refuge and produced his monumental translation of the New Testament into
German. Follow the Reformation Trail and at the same time enjoy the beauty and profundity of town and country. And as a special contrast, experience the
vibrant and fascinating modern capital of Germany, Berlin.
