Halberstadt, a town in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, serves as the gateway to the majestic Harz Mountains. Nestled at the northern foothills, it's just a short drive away from these natural wonders. With a population of around 50,000, Halberstadt offers a warm welcome to travelers who are captivated by the stunning towers of its 1200-year old Bishop's Seat. Despite the destruction it faced during World War II, the town proudly preserves its rich historical heritage through its impressive buildings and ancient townscape. Notable landmarks in Halberstadt include the Liebfrauenkirche and St. Stephen Cathedral, magnificent churches dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. An exceptional feature of the cathedral is its remarkably intact medieval treasury, containing Europe's oldest surviving tapestries from the 12th century.
