With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Lutherstadt Eisleben, 17 miles away, has to offer. Süßer See ought to be at the top of your to-do list here. Martin Luther Death House and Martin Luther Birth House are interesting attractions too. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Thale, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Harzer Bergtheater. (But we’re also big fans of Rappbodetalsperre and Bode Gorge.)
