Torchlight Tour of the Petersberg Citadel’s Underground Passageways

Experience an unusual guided evening tour of the passageways within the citadel’s formidable walls, with flickering torches creating a special air of mystery. Opening up the Petersberg Fortress in Erfurt has been one of the most costly and complex but also undoubtedly one of the most worthwhile preservation projects of our times. The priority was to preserve and develop the fortress site with its numerous testimonies to architectural and cultural history, both German and European.
