Tour World Heritage Sites

Tour 6

Experience three world heritage sites in Germany. The Chilehaus in Hamburg, the Fagus plant in Alfeld and the Rammelsberg mine in Goslar. But it’s not only these outstanding buildings that can be experienced on the route. In Celle you can trace the footsteps of Otto Haesler, whose Bauhaus-style estates and buildings have shaped the cityscape. On the Blumläger Feld estate, the Haesler Museum presents a slice of home life in the 1930s.
