Germany - Central Germany (PDF Chapter)
This is the Central Germany chapter from Lonely Planet’s Germany guide-book.
Crucial to its culture, science, industry and history, Mittel-deutschland is Germany’s beating heart. It is studded with cities whose historical importance matches their modern vitality, ridged by low, forested mountains that loom large in German mythology; and edified by museums, cathedrals and castles without number.
