Even the most urban corners of Erfurt hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Erfurt Cathedral and Severikirche offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Egapark for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Erfurt is Thuringia's capital and one of Germany's best-kept secrets — a beautifully preserved medieval city with a stunning cathedral, a bridge lined with inhabited houses, and Martin Luther's university town.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided nature walk route in Erfurt. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Erfurt Cathedral and Severikirche — twin Gothic churches on a hilltop reached by a 70-step staircase, with the cathedral housing the world's largest free-swinging medieval bell, the Gloriosa, plus hidden gems like Egapark — one of Germany's largest garden parks with themed gardens, greenhouses, and a Japanese garden, hosting the Bundesgartenschau exhibitions.

Erfurt is known for medieval and history, but between the busy streets, spaces like Erfurt Cathedral and Severikirche provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Egapark provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Walk the Kramerbrucke slowly — peek into the tiny shops and galleries in the half-timbered houses, then step to the side to see the bridge from the riverbank below.
May through September offers warm weather and outdoor concerts on the cathedral steps, while the Erfurt Christmas Market is one of Germany's most atmospheric.
