This is my preliminary route through Deutschland. The black circles are where I will stay for a few days. Is there anywhere else not as well known that locals think is worth seeing along this route?

"I loved it. This would probably be my number 1 place in Quedlinburg. The scenery is magnificent. The little garden is breathtaking to be in. A hidden gem. For those wanting to go there, you have to walk about a 5 minute incline. There is a small coffeeshop. The Quedlinburg castle and museum are also worth visiting. There are bathrooms but I'm not sure if they are free. Overall a very picturesque place."
