Historic Erfurt in Winter
The medieval city of Erfurt, capital of Thuringia, transforms under a blanket of winter snow. The iconic Dom St. Marien (St. Mary's Cathedral) with its distinctive twin green copper spires dominates the skyline, standing as a testament to over 1,200 years of religious architecture.
