Dessau-Wörlitz in One Day

Dessau was for centuries the royal residence of the Principality and Duchy of Anhalt. In the 18th century, under Leopold III Frederick Franz of Anhalt-Dessau, the city became a »Musenhof« (»court of the muses«) of European importance, and the present-day Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz was established in the spirit of the Enlightenment. Located idyllically in the heart of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve, it today impresses countless visitors from far and wide as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dessau is world famous as the »Bauhaus« city, whose most famous structures ¿ the Bauhaus building and Meisterhäuser houses ¿ are also listed as World Heritage Sites. The tour takes you to Dessau¿s biggest attractions and Wörlitz Park, inviting you to experience the city¿s 800-year-old history and Wörlitz¿s picturesque parklands in an entertaining and informative manner ¿ while still making sure to include the breaks necessary for you to enjoy Anhalt hospitality. von Schulze, Michael
