Best Tour in Leipzig - Highly recommended tour. Our guide told with a lot of passion and humor. You learn things about Leipzig’s city history that you hardly learn otherwise. The property itself is breathtakingly beautiful, especially now in spring. Even without a guide you could walk around here for hours. For us, the tour was one of the most beautiful experiences of our Leipzig visit.

We'll be back! - Cemetery is located five kilometers outside the city center, but is worth the drive. Dirk explained the way very well and was a competent guide. Highly recommended.
