We take the train to Salzwedel. Picturesque cobblestone streets, lovingly restored half-timbered houses, and impressive brick buildings characterize Salzwedel's townscape. We stroll through the winding alleys of the old town. Unfortunately, there are also many buildings that are in very poor condition.
