With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Magdeburg, 18 miles away, has to offer. Magdeburg Zoo should be at the top of your to-do list here. Cathedral of Magdeburg and Elbauenpark are fantastic attractions too. Situated 20 miles away, Schoeningen is another popular destination. If you visit, make sure you check out Palaon - Research and Experience Centre Schoningen Spears, Naturpark Elm Lappwald and St. Lorenz-Kirche.
