This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Dom. The Merseburg Rabe accompanied us in the form of the audio guide for children, telling us about its history and the cathedral's features. We explored the crypt and the Kreuzgang

Highlights: The children loved the audio guide and the Rabe. The audio guide made us aware of many details we would have otherwise overlooked. We especially enjoyed the quiet Kreuzgang ✨
