Borne walks

The city on the Elbe was once a major centre of the Reformation. It is regarded as the media hub of the Reformation, where Luther delivered his famous sermon at St John’s Church in 1524. Several stops along the route invite visitors to learn more about the history of the Reformation in Magdeburg.

Literature meets nature: the Balladenweg in Molmerswende combines hiking with the fascinating stories surrounding the poet Gottfried August Bürger. The circular route, approximately 6.5 km long, winds through the varied landscape around his birthplace. Far from the noise of roads and traffic, the route invites you to enjoy a relaxing break in the heart of nature. Here, the tranquillity of the countryside blends with Molmerswende’s literary heritage. In future, audio stations are to be installed along the trail, where visitors can experience selected ballads and further content relating to Gottfried August Bürger. The circular trail is particularly suitable for literature enthusiasts, families and walkers who wish to combine nature, culture and regional history. The result is a special walking trail in the Mansfeld-Südharz region that charmingly combines physical activity with literary discoveries.
