Tangermünde: Thick brick walls and a sad woman's fate
This family's experience:

Activities: We strolled through the charming lanes, admired the Hünerdorfer Tor, and checked out the Schloss (castle), now a chic hotel with a public park. We explored the old town with its cafes and boutiques, enjoying the atmosphere. "We feel anything but unwelcome." We also saw the statue of Grete Minde

Highlights: We enjoyed the atmosphere of the old town. "Cafés and pubs have already put tables and chairs outside." The architecture and history of the town, including the story of Grete Minde, captivated us ✨
