A Day trip to Quedlinburg, with a group through Couchsurfing. it was a lot cheaper to catch the train in a larger group, so a guy put word out and lots of us joined him on the train from Berlin. The town is well known for its Christmas market, and it kind of takes over the town.

A 1000 year old UNESCO world heritage town. The magic of Christmas fills the town and every nook, angels flit through the decorated alleyways. For the weekends leading up to Christmas, the historical houses in the centre open their gates and offer up festive objects and rarities for “Advent in the courtyards”.
