  This guide to Easern Germany reveals a land rich in lakes, forests, mountains and rivers, dotted with moated castles, splendid baroque palaces and soaring Gothic cathedrals. History is tangible in the old Baltic cities and seaside resorts, the charming medieval towns with their cobbled streets and gabled buildings, and the unspoilt rural villages. Each chapter focuses on a major city before taking the reader on tours of the surrounding countryside: Dresden, where Schiller wrote and Richard Strauss composed; Leipzig, birthplace of Wagner, and the city Goethe regarded as a Paris in miniature; and of course Berlin.
