From the viewpoint of wheelchair accessibility, my sleeping quarters in Weimar seem most inhospitable. But Hababusch is a hostel with a difference, run by student volunteers who have their own rooms on top and rent out the middle floor. A narrow spiral staircase in this 19th-century ivied tower brings me to room level and, once they see I am not going to be put off by such trifles as a two-minute haul upstairs, whoever is on desk duty reunites me with my personal transport. Oh, and at €11 (A$18) a night, this is the cheapest bed of the journey so far.

798-802 km

Weimar is a beacon of German culture. The hometown of Friedrich Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, it was also the laboratory of Germany’s fledgling democratic culture after World War I. But the name of Weimar is still associated with the rampant inflation and a national Government so fragile that it crumbled to dust before the Nazi onslaught.
