Journey Highlights
Trip Dates: October 7–18, 2027 | Led by Pastor Bill Knapp (Travel dates, flights, accommodations, museum access, and itinerary are subject to confirmation or change.)
PLACES
Krakow, Poland: Explore historic Krakow, Wawel Castle, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial.
Prague, Czechia: Discover the city of Jan Hus, Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, Charles Bridge, and Old Town.
Erfurt & Wartburg, Germany: Visit the Augustinian Monastery, where Luther entered monastic life, and Wartburg Castle, where he translated the New Testament into German.
Eisleben, Leipzig & Wittenberg: Explore Luther's birthplace, historic churches, Bach landmarks, Luther's House, and the Castle Church associated with the 95 Theses.
Berlin, Germany: Visit the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Wall sites, Holocaust Memorial, and other important landmarks.
A Rare Opportunity: Stay at Luther's Monastery!
One of the most extraordinary possibilities of this journey is spending two nights at the historic Augustinian Monastery in Erfurt.
We're currently holding rooms, but to secure them, we need at least 25 committed travelers by mid-November 2026.
Why are we asking for serious interest now?
Final trip pricing is expected around mid-November. Because the monastery requires an earlier planning decision, we need to know whether enough travelers are seriously considering participating.
Our current estimated trip cost is up to $6,000 per person, based on double occupancy, with the possibility of a lower final price depending on airfare and group size.
