From there the group went to Weimar to follow the traces of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The day ended in a hotel in Jena. On sunday the group visited the Daetz-Centrum in Lichtenstein before going to Dresden to experience one of Germanys most famous and cultural rich cities. On the last day the first destination to visit was Eisenach, to visit the Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Haus, listen to some live performed music and find out more about the famous composer. The last destination before going back to Dortmund was the famous Wartburg, including a guided tour and a live view on the room where Martin Luther lived for some time.
