Burg bei Magdeburg
Known as the "City of Towers" for its concentration of medieval churches and steeples, Burg bei Magdeburg sits on the Elbe–Havel Canal in Saxony-Anhalt, a short distance northeast of Magdeburg. The compact centre has cafés and restaurants within easy reach of the waterfront, and a Roland statue — restored in 1999 — marks the town's place in the wider tradition of Roland saga monuments found across Germany.
