Marburg - A Town That Time Forgot!

Venice is known for its thousand bridges, Marburg for its stairs and alleys.


Even Jacob Grimm once said: "I believe there are more steps in the streets than in the houses.” Crooked, bumpy, angular and steep, such is Marburg’s Old Upper Town. Here the medieval times are still tangible - you can see it, you can perceive it with all five senses. That is also how Boris Pasternak felt: "If only this were a city! But in fact it is a medieval fairy tale!” Not without reason does Marburg lie today along the German Fairy Tale Road.  

We spent an afternoon exploring the nooks and crannys of an old town full of new life!
