“Germany's Hamburg and the Luther Trail”

Hamburg, Germany’s mighty port city has risen from the ashes of World War II with a gleaming new skyline and a brisk creative energy.

From there, Rick visits the great historic sights of Martin Luther and the Reformation (Erfurt, Wittenberg, and Wartburg Castle) before finishing in the capital of Franconia: wine-loving Würzburg.
