Reformation

Germany is not just a country of many wonderful landscapes and historical attractions, but also the home of the Reformation, which had its roots in Wittenberg where the young monk Martin Luther is said to have posted his 95 theses on the doors of the "Schlosskirche". Many other places are linked to the great Reformer, such as Eisleben, where he was born and died, Wartburg Castle (World Heritage Site), where he translated the New Testament into German, and Torgau, the burial place of Luther's wife, Katharina von Bora.

In Zurich, Switzerland, you can find the Grossmunster Cathedral, from where the Swiss Reformation led by Huldrych Zwingli spread. The shores of Lake Geneva are also home to many places linked to John Calvin, who was an inspiration to countless protestant churches.
