Wittenberg

In 1517 Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the cathedral in Wittenberg and sparked one of the greatest revolutions in human history - the Reformation. A Roman Catholic priest and theologian, he challenged the orthodoxy of his day.

Moving down river we went into Dessau and visited Bauhaus. Bauhaus is a famous German art school that Susan studied in college. Apparently everybody knows about this place but me.

Tiring of the bikeway along the Elbe, we broke off into the countryside to get over to EuroVelo 13 which follows the path of the Iron Curtain. For the night we found good lodging in a farmhouse with good food. Susan loves the place, I like the price - $30 euros.
