After picking up your backpack for two at a bookshop in the city centre, you can start your discovery of the main city sights and the history of Erfurt at your own pace.
In your backpack you will find a historic novel, based on facts, two seat pads, a city map, a local surprise and a letter. The letter will tell you where to go and which passages to read so that history will come alive whilst experiencing the aura of the different locations. The tour is designed for a duration of two hours.
You may choose between five themes/books:
Blaues Gold - 17th century woad trade
Der Bierrufer - 17th century brewing trade
Amor Vincit Omnia or the English title „The Lost Treasure“ - 14th century Jewish life with the UNESCO World Heritage sites
Der Abt vom Petersberg - 15th century monastery crimes
Die Pfaffenhure - Martin Luther in Erfurt 16th century
