Germany's Heartland (ERFURT / WEIMAR / EISENACH / COBURG)
3 of these cities (Erfurt, Weimar and Eisenach) are located in the former GDR. They've undergone an amazing transformation over the last 20 years. Not (or hardly bombed) during WW2 and removed from the post-WW2 construction boom in West Germany, they've managed to preserve their old charm with plenty of beautiful architecture and narrow alleys. Coburg is located just south of the Thuringian-Bavarian border. After WW1 they decided to join Bavaria which would turn out to be a smart move roughly 25 years later when the US and USSR divided up Germany.
 ERFURT State capital of the German state of Thuringia. Full of old architecture and incredibly clean.  image hosted on flickr  Erfurt image hosted on flickr  Erfurt image hosted on flickr  Erfurt image hosted on flickr  Erfurt image hosted on flickr  Erfurt image hosted on flickr  Erfurt Last edited by Kampflamm; August 27th, 2011 at 09:31 PM. |

COBURG
aka "stud farm of Europe." Members of the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha would go on to marry into a number of royal families. Both the royal families of the UK and Belgium are branches of the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. image hosted on flickr  Coburg image hosted on flickr  Coburg image hosted on flickr  Coburg Last edited by Kampflamm; August 24th, 2011 at 08:51 PM. |

Absolutely amazing!
 Sachsen and Thüringen are in some ways even more beautiful than Bayern and Baden-Württemberg!
