Magdeburg
Magdeburg, the Otto City on the Elbe, houses Germany's first Gothic cathedral and Hundertwasser's colorful Green Citadel. The Elbe floodplains offer wonderful cycling and hiking paths along the river that defines the cityscape. As Saxony-Anhalt's state capital, Magdeburg combines Ottonian medieval history with modern architecture in an interesting contrast.
