If you’re looking to relax, Erfurt is the place to be. Beautiful parks such as egapark Erfurt, the Geraaue, Steigerwald forest and a whole host of popular destinations promise peace and quiet and a change of scene.
You can also get on your bike and discover the area’s long-distance cycle routes.
And on hot days, the city’s pools and lakes are the perfect place to cool down.
For a really wild experience, head to Erfurt Zoo with its extensive grounds and more than 900 animals.
