June 12, 2023,Dessau, kleine Stadttour

Using our Germany ticket, we paid a visit to Dessau today. Of course you can find many more highlights; we were completely satisfied with the Bauhaus and the inner city. We also stumbled across an enchanting TOBI OR NOT TOBE restaurant, whose landlord burned with love for his profession. So: everything is great!
