Lutherweg – along the tracks of Martin Luther

Lutherweg - along the tracks of Martin Luther

The Luther Roads consist of various walking and cycling routes that connect the most important sights from the life of Martin Luther and the Reformation in the 16th century. The routes run through various federal states, of which Saxony-Anhalt is the historical center; here you will find his birthplace Eisleben and of course the Lutherstad Wittenberg, where it all started 500 years ago.

With the more than 400 kilometers of pilgrimage route through Saxony-Anhalt, a green"L\\\" on a white sign will take you past 40 Luther must-sees. The route has a northern and a southern loop; both sections take you from Wittenberg via Halle (also recommended) to the junction in Höhnstedt and from there you continue via Eisleben to Mansfeld.

Many other walking routes are connected to the Lutherweg, such as the Jakobsweg. If you plan to hike the route at the end of October, you're in luck; on October 31, the'Reformationstag\\\' will take place and you can visit numerous events.
