I'm having difficulty finding information on closure days online, so any help would be appreciated. Also, will the Christmas market stalls be open on those days? Thanks!

Just a tentative enquiry. I am considering a bummel around somewhere off the beaten track. Is a short (5-day) tour around the Altmark a viable option? Having studied classics (Latin, Greek and Ancient History) at university many years ago, I would like to see the museum in Stendal - and its Trojan Horse. I enjoy museums, galleries, churches and anything 'cultural'. Where else should or could I visit? I have been improving my German at my local Goethe Institut (I'm now up the Intermediate Level Hauptkurs!) so am now quite confident handling things like local transport etc. Suggestions welcome...

Dear travellers, I would like to visit the birthplace of Friedrich Nietzsche - a town called Roecken and also Naumburg, where he spent the most part of his life. A friend and I plan to take a train from Duesseldorf to Leipzig. Does anyone know of a good train or bus connection to Roecken and Naumburg from Leipzig? Would it make more sense to rent a car in Leipzig? I would like to visit: 1. The village church and cemetery in Roecken 2. Das Nietzsche-Haus, Weingarten 18, Naumburg 3. Museums, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. in Leipzig (suggestions from the local tourist office) Any other "must-see"s whilst we are in these three cities - Leipzig, Roecken and Naumburg? Many thanks, Srik
