Just outside the Connewitz quarter of Leipzig, you'll discover beautiful woods and green spaces that serve as a habitat for a variety of animals. Wild pigs are a big attraction, but the area is also home to owls, deer, geese, ducks, bison, moose and foxes. If you're fortunate, you might even spot a raccoon or a lynx. In addition to its wildlife, this area is a fantastic place for hiking or cycling.

This upland inside the Old City hosts places of worship for Jews (who call it Temple Mount, "Har HaBáyit") and Muslims (for whom the place is named Noble Sanctuary, "Haram esh-Sharif"). It was also the scene of events narrated in the Gospels, and its intense atmosphere can captivate everyone. Along with the Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, here you will find the smaller Dome of the Chain and four Minarets. The Sanctuary is enclosed in walls built by Herod the Great 2,000 years ago. Of the eleven gates, only one is open to non-Muslim visitors: the Mughrabi Gate, which is guarded by a security check. It's important to dress modestly when visiting the Temple Mount / Noble Sanctuary. Visitors should cover their legs and shoulders and bring a cap.

The Seminary Hill Natural Area is a meditative wooded area on Seminary Hill. It overlooks Centralia, as well as the Chehalis and Skookumchuck River Valleys. The trailhead provides public access to steep trails, woods, and vistas.

This museum features paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages to the 20th century along with departments of archaeology, natural history and ethnology, and a vivarium with fish and reptiles. While the exhibitions themselves attract visitors of various interests, the housing monument is also well worth a glance.
