This is a tour of the old and the new. Our stay in Wernigerode is at the modern HKK hotel overlooking some of the many buildings restored since German reunification and just a short walk away from the historic steam trains of the Harz Mountain Railways. In Quedlinburg, a UNESCO heritage site and visited on a day trip, there is an opportunity to see restored and un-restored buildings side by side, showing the amount of work carried out in recent years.
The second part of the tour stays in a historic and traditional hotel in the small riverside village of Assmannshausen renowned for its red wine - unusual in Germany with its predominance of white wine. Here the new comes with the modern boats of the KD line which cruise up and down the river along with the historic paddle steamer.
